In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Be Someone
Be someone who listens, and you will be heard. Be someone who cares, and you will be loved. Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed. Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand, and you will be wise. Be someone kind, someone considerate, and you will be admired. Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected. Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich. Be someone filled with gratitude, and there will be no end to the things for which you'll be thankful.Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose, as your own light brightly shines. Be, in every moment, the special someone you are truly meant to be.-- Ralph Marston
As the birds sing each morning at sunrise, the heart fills with song at the dawn of meditation. As flowers bloom in spring, the soul is drenched in fragrance as meditation is born. As everything glistens green beneath the rain, the consciousness shines with many colours as meditation showers -- all this and much more takes place, and this is only the beginning -- ultimately everything goes; fragrance, colour, light, music -- everything disappears, and an inner space, like the sky, appears -- empty, formless, without quality. Wait for that. Long for that. The signs are good, so do not waste even a moment.
"People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within." ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.

Love is A Magic Ray
Love is a magic ray
emitted from the burning core
of the soul
and iluminating
the sorrounding earth
It enables us
to perceive life
as a beautiful dream
between one awakening
and another
~Khalil Gibran

“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.”

CHEROKEE PRAYER BLESSING
May the warm winds of heaven Blow softly upon your lodge. May the Great Spirit, Bless all who enter there. May your mocassins Make happy tracks In many snows, And may the rainbow Always touch your shoulder.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same." ~ Flavia Weedn

"You are here to serve others, to be a light for them, to participate in their lessons and to help heal humanity. You are also here to serve yourself, to heal your karma, to enable your soul's growth and reconnect to the Source. Your challenge is to find a balance between serving others and yourself so that you can accomplish the tasks that you established for yourself in this lifetime and even go beyond that. How you view your role in serving others is an important part of this process."From: URIEL HEALS By Jennifer Hoffman.

The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes from within the souls of people when they realize that their relationship... Their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe, dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere... For, It is within each of us.Black Elk

When I Am Reminded
Each day is a new beginning given by God I am reminded how blessed I am as this road I tread. A new friendship comes to mind and it is my treasure. Watching a child at play is my greatest pleasure. Being able to help a fallen soul will be my greatest joy. Watching a bird build a nest while the world searches for rest. I am reminded I am only a small part of his plan. When skies are blue or gray you are always there beside me. I am reminded of God's love at the site of a rainbow after the rain. When I see the flag I'm reminded of the freedoms I share. I remember God's love to me when I suffer much pain. As the clowns come to town I am grateful I'm able to laugh. I'll share your heavy load to let you know I care. I am reminded day by day we have much to share. ~ Gaye Combs

SHARING
When we share laughter, There's twice the fun; When we share success, We surpassed what we've done.When we share problems, There's half the pain; When we share tears A rainbow follows rain.When we share dreams, They become more real When we share secrets, Our hearts we reveal.If we share a smile, That's when our love shows; If we share a hug, It's when our love grows.If we share with someone On whom we depend, That person is always Our family or friend.And what draws us closer And makes us all care, Is not what we have, But the things that we share

I'd like to meet:

A scene you will probably never get to see, so take a moment and enjoy God at work at the North Pole.This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. And, you also see the sun below the moon. An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass it on to others.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.

The optomist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge. And he answered, saying: Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge. You would know in words that which you have always known in thought. You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.And it is well you should. The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; and the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure; and seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless.Say not, “I have found the truth,” but rather, “I have found a truth.” Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.” Say rather, “I have met the soul walking upon my path.” For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.Kahlil Gibran

"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."......Kahlil Gibran
Remember
Remember that a little love goes a long way. Remember that a lot... goes forever. Remember that friendship is a wise investment. Life's treasures are people... together. Realize that it's never too late. Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way. Have health and hope and happiness. Take the time to wish upon a star. And don't ever forget... for even a day... How very special you are.~Douglas Pagels Collection

"To hope means to be ready at every moment for that which is not yet born, and yet not become desperate if there is no birth in our lifetime."~Erich Fromm~

When darkness falls around you and you feel that you walk alone, may you find a beacon of light to guide your way.

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.”
Dalai Lama

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Whatever your belief system may be, remember that there is power in numbers, and regardless of your stance on the USA being there, the fact is: WE ARE THERE. So, say a few silent prayers in your own words to protect them and bring them home safely. Always remember that these are our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and best friends; they are the Americans fighting for our right TO BE FREE. God Bless Our Troops

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly." ~Richard Bach, American Author

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."......Kahlil Gibran

Television:


For many of us, our lives are so busy that we rarely give anyone our full attention.Beginning today, make an effort to really listen when people talk to you. Put the book down, turn off the tv or turn away from the computer screen. Look directly into the speaker's eyes and fully listen, letting both your ears and your heart take in the words.

Whether you know it or not, one of the most important relationships in your life is with your Soul. Will you be kind and loving to your Soul, or will you be harsh and difficult? Many of us unknowingly damage our Souls with our negative attitudes and actions or by simple neglect. By making the relationship with your Soul an important part of your life, however, by honoring it in your daily routine, you give your life greater meaning and substance. Use your experiences--all of them--as opportunities to nourish your Soul!Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross

Books:



Hope
Keep hope in your heart, Keep it there till there's more. More of what many should have, but are just to afraid to hold. Hope is like a crystal, rare precious & bold. Hope is what makes us humans, hope is whats in our souls. Each day that comes & goes. Each night that passes by is just another step for our hopes to come alive. We see what's in right and wrong. We see what's in bad and good. We see what other's and most don't see. What beauty and wonder hope can hold.Rachel Fogle

"The Teachers features the hawk, who teaches us to soar, the wolf, who teaches us truth, the bear, who teaches us medicine, and the woman, who teaches compassion."It is a mans sympathy with all creatures that truly makes him a man. Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.~Albert Schweitzer~

Heroes:


Those who care about others.
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. - Blackfoot
Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children. - Tribe Unknown
When the white man discovered this country Indians were running it. No taxes no debt, women did all the work. White man thought he could improve on a system like this. - Cherokee

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender. ... Emil Ludwig
Where Angels Walk
I walked today where angels walk; I sensed their presence all around. I longed to see beyond the veil And touch the beauty that surroundsI walked today where angels walk; A stranger smiled when I was down. A kind word spoken to my need; I look to see; no one's around.I walked today where angels walk; I entertain them, unaware The stranger who just "happens by" Is sent by God, his love to share.At last I see beyond the veil A simple truth so often mocked. Unrecognized, they're in our midst; We walk each day Where Angels Walk. ~ Linda S. Van Fleet
Just like a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun, and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean, we can't separate ourselves from one another. We are all part of a vast sea of love, one indivisible divine mind.Marianne Williamson
. Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. • Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace. • If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace...Thich Nhat Hanh
br There is no they, only us. We're part of a large fellowship called "the human race." We all hurt the same. We all love the same. We all bleed the same. We all need understanding and care.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.Kahlil Gibran
May You Find Serenity
*May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.
*May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with optimism and courage.
*Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there even when you feel most alone.
*May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.
*May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile, be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
*Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
*Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world. *May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
*Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
*May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
*Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.
*Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way.
*What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another.
*What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.
*May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
*Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
*May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgements of your accomplishments.
*May you always feel loved.
© 1987 Sandra Sturtz Hauss
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. --Anais Nin
