“Transformation begins in you, wherever you are, whatever has happened, however you are suffering. Transformation is always possible.”

Life of wholeness does not depend on what we experience. Wholeness depends on how we experience our lives

Life is more than breath and a heartbeat; meaning and purpose are the life of life.

Dear Child of God, I write these words because we all experience sadness, we all come at times to despair, and we all lose hope that the suffering in our lives and in the world will ever end.

Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument.

Forgiveness does not relieve someone of responsibility for what they have done. Forgiveness does not erase accountability. It is not about turning a blind eye or even turning the other cheek.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Forgiveness is simply about understanding that every one of us is both inherently good and inherently flawed.

Within every hopeless situation and every seemingly hopeless person lies the possibility of transformation

Be nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.

We are made for loving. If we don’t love, we will be like plants without water.

We are made for goodness. We are made for love. We are made for friendliness. We are made for togetherness. We are made for all of the beautiful things that you and I know.

A person is a person through other persons.

In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.

We do not heal in isolation. When we reach out and connect with one another—when we tell the story, name the hurt, grant forgiveness, and renew or release the relationship—our suffering begins to transform.

Though wrong gratifies in the moment, good yields its gifts over a lifetime.

In the beginning there was faith – which is childish; trust – which is vain; and illusion – which is dangerous.

When poems stop talking about the moon and begin to mention poverty, trade unions, color, color lines and colonies, somebody tells the police.

The end of great beginnings is to disregard the cognisance.

Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels – the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams,and personality.

I am afraid that if we begin to put our trust in human help, some of our Divine help will fail us.

I lift my hands in praise and all else begins to fade, for you are all that matters; lord take all of me.

Where we ended I began.

Yesterday ended last night. Every day is a new beginning. Learn the skill of forgetting. And move on.
