MISSION FERRARI
LOVE "What if I could speak all languages
of humans and of angels?
If I did not love others,
I would be nothing more than a noisy gong
or a clanging cymbal.
What if I could prophesy
and understand all secrets and all knowledge?
And what if I had faith that moved mountains?
I would be nothing, unless I loved others.
What if I gave away all that I owned
and let myself be burned alive?
I would gain nothing, unless I loved others.
Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude.
Love isn't selfish or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do.
Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil.
Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.
Love never fails!
Everyone who prophesies will stop,
and unknown languages will no longer be spoken.
All that we know will be forgotten.
We don't know everything,
and our prophecies are not complete.
But what is perfect will someday appear,
and what isn't perfect will then disappear.
When we were children,
we thought and reasoned as children do.
But when we grew up, we quit our childish ways.
Now all we can see of God
is like a cloudy picture in a mirror.
Later we will see Him face to face.
We don't know everything, but then we will,
just as God completely understands us.
For now there are faith, hope, and love.
But of these three,
the greatest,
is LOVE..."

In Loving Memory of my Grandmother:
Theresa Julia Navroski
Who called me her "Little Princess"
Who held my hand, and walked me to pre-school
Who would stop whatever she was doing to make me a 'Gritta'
Who let me eat tea and toast in the morning with her as a kid
Who looked after me when I stayed home sick
And let me lay on the couch and watch soaps with her at nap-time
Who always tried to slip me a $20 when I visited
And always restocked me with socks on my Birthday
Who could see through me to smile at my soul
Who loved me unconditionally
And meant the world to me
Who is missed so much more than words can describe
Whose love will NEVER be forgotten...
"...those I used to know..."
"And, suddenly, I become a part of your past...
I'm becoming the part that don't last.
I'm losing you, and it's effortless."

"Make an island of yourself,
Make yourself your refuge;
There is no other refuge.
Make truth your island,
Make truth your refuge;
There is no other refuge."
~*~ Digha Nikaya, 16 ~*~
"If we are not empty, we become a block of matter.
We cannot breathe, we cannot think.
To be empty means to be alive,
to breathe in and to breathe out.
We cannot be alive if we are not empty.
Emptiness is impermanence, it is change.
We should not complain about impermanence,
because without impermanence, nothing is possible."
~*~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~*~
"It is never too late.
Even if you are going to die tomorrow,
Keep yourself straight and clear,
and be a happy human being today.
If you keep your situation happy day by day,
you will eventually reach the greatest happiness
of Enlightenment."
~*~ Lama Yeshe ~*~
"We must accept finite disappointment,
but never lose infinite hope."
~*~ Martin Luther King, Jr. ~*~
"The beauty of life is,
while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment
is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love."
~*~ Jennifer Edwards ~*~
"My religion is
to live and die
without regret."
~*~ Milarepa ~*~
"Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth."
~*~ Sutta Nipata ~*~
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."
~*~ Dalai Lama ~*~
"Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not 'become' enlightened.
When you sit, let it be
When you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing."
~*~ Ajhan Chah ~*~
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
~*~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~*~
"What is it that binds you?
You are not bound by any chains now.
Is it just the thought that you are bound that binds you?
Mental chains can only be broken by mental effort."
~*~ Zed (slightly edited) ~*~
"Faith is like a lamp
and wisdom makes the flame burn bright.
Carry this lamp always
and in good time
the darkness will yield
and you will abide in the Light."
~*~ Dhammavadaka ~*~
"Religion is not
just some dry intellectual idea
but rather your basic philosophy of life:
you hear a teaching that makes sense to you,
find through experience
that it relates positively
with your psychological makeup,
get a real taste of it through practice,
and adopt it as your spiritual path.
That's the right way
to enter the spiritual path."
