"What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you."
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself."
-Henry David Thoreau
"Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves."
-Pierre Tielhard de ChardinMetta and Karuna prayer-Oneness of Life and Light,
Entrusting in your Great Compassion,
May you shed the foolishness in myself,
Transforming me into a conduit of Love.
May I be a medicine for the sick and weary,
Nursing their afflictions until they are cured;
May I become food and drink,During time of famine,
May I protect the helpless and the poor,
May I be a lamp,For those who need your Light,
May I be a bed for those who need rest,
and guide all seekers to the Other Shore.
May all find happiness through my actions,
and let no one suffer because of me.
Whether they love or hate me,
Whether they hurt or wrong me,
May they all realize true entrusting,
Through Other Power,
and realize Supreme Nirvana.Namo Amitofo (Buddha of infinite love, life, & light)
(Salamat My Dear Yao!)

-George Bernard Shaw

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they are not on your road does not mean they have gotten lost."
-Jackson Browne
Rhythms Of My Life...
Opposites; interdependent; Consume and support each other; transform into one another; Part of Yin is in Yang and part of Yan is in Ying. A human being who is TRUE in the truest sense of the word... with equal goodness and compassion in his soul. People who make sense and will render good deeds in this world. I know there are few... but the possibilities are endless... It should start from just one individual, and the chain of goodness continues... -far impossible to near possible; The Dalai Lama; to see him even from far-view (exactly how I saw Pope John Paul II) would mean so much to me. (such compassionate beings!) -I'd like to meet dear friends I was blessed to have with...-I'd love to meet Jet Li (oh, my!), Ian Wright (the globe trekker) to laugh with him)...-Individuals who love to read good books and be able to share the joy of it...-My "Dream-Place(s)" one at a time...-And ultimately to meet and unite on a one fine day with my "Significant Other":) -"And he held my hand in a Field Of Flowers" -I didn't come here to leave you; I didn't come here to lose; I didn't come here believing I would ever be away from you; I didn't come here to find out there's a weakness in my faith. I was brought here by the Power Of Love; Love By Grace." I DREAM, I WISH, I BELIEVE AND IT WILL BE:) -Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle- -I surely miss and remember my Father everytime I hear this song... Hugs and Butterfly Kisses to you Pa "wherever you are". I'll always be "Your Little Tutipie Butterfly"... I might or may have some changes in my life but I know you're wearing a sweet smile up there or wherever you may be. -"I'll spread my wings and Fly"-(^.^) (Painting by Rev. Yao;You're the best My Dear Yao!) "Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits.Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine Kind words and kind deeds." -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are...Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself." R. J. Baughan

Salamat, Mahal Ko. Remember the wonderful story how I got this book?) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (probably one of the best books I've read.), The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter (a true story of the author), Enid Blyton's (hhmmm..well, the "child" in me, that's why:), B.F. Skinner's Walden Two ( a good book about behaviorism), Sparks', Brown's.... still counting and searching... "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." Saint Augustine
"Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution." Kahlil Gibran "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired." -Mother Teresa "A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water." -Eleanor Roosevelt "Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think." -Ralph Waldo Emerson"An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." Carl Gustav Jung "The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon." Maria Montessori (Salamat, Dear Phillip, I really love it!) "Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society." -Benjamin Franklin "No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure." -Emma Goldman "You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." Clay P. Bedford "Friendships begin because, even without words, we understand how someone feels." Joan Walsh Anglund My deep Love and Gratitude to a One Beautiful Being...Dear Yao, Forever SALAMAT for everything. (painting by sadmonk) "To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself." Bernard Iddings Bell "The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy." Henry Ward Beecher
