“Ask yourself if what you’re doing today will get you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.”

Reason is the steering wheel. Emotion is the gas pedal.

Maybe the wolf is in love with the moon, and each month it cries for a love it will never touch.

Do everything in love.

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone, by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself, no one can purify another.

Starve your distractions, feed your focus.

Sweat is just fat crying.

Funny how we believe our own lies.

Today’s weakness is tomorrow’s failure.

The infinite – free, unbounded, full of joy – is our native state.

To the heart that knows contentment, every day is Thanksgiving.

Lord, be my rock of safety, the stronghold that saves me. For the honor of your name lead me and guide me.

And lo I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.

Pets are like infants that never grow up. Forever children. We love them for that.

Some days, all of it aches with beauty.  Others, it all just aches with you.

Think, in this batter’d Caravanserai Whose portals are alternate Night and Day, How Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp Abode his destin’d Hour and went his way.

Remind yourself every day how worthy you are of your own love.

In life the only thing that you can expect is the unexpected; the only surprise is a day that has none.

I did not run away, I walked away by daylight….

These days my bones are shifting, trembled things. I am more earthquake than anything.
