Reveal

"Authority, power or wealth do not change a man, they only reveal him."  - Imam Ali -

Interrupt

"We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God."  - Dietrich Bonhoeffer -

Reasons

"There are a thousand thousand reasons to live this life, every one of them sufficient."  - Marilynne Robinson -

Forever

"Last forever!' Who has n't prayed that prayer? You were lucky to get it in the first place. The present is a freely given canvas. That it is constantly being ripped apart and washed downstream goes without saying."  - Annie Dillard -

You

"Morning without you is a dwindled dawn."  - Emily Dickinson -

Quiet

"Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts: the sight of the deep-blue sky, and the clustering stars above seem to impart a quiet to the mind."  - Jonathan Edwards -

Do it

"The realms of time are narrow,

Neither is yesterday important,

Nor is tomorrow.

Do it today, at this instant,

Or you will come to sorrow -

For time is something you can't

Beg, steal or borrow."  - Author unknown -

Quiet

"You need not do anything.

Remain sitting at your table and listen.

You need not even listen, just wait.

You need not even wait,

just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.

And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.

It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet." - Franz Kafka -

Trail

"Do not go where the path may lead.  Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson -

Pain

"The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal."  - C.S. Lewis -

Flow

"Something of God flows into us from the blue of the sky, the taste of honey, the delicious embrace of water whether cold or hot, and even from sleep itself."  - C.S. Lewis -

Heaven

"Every spirit builds itself a house,

and beyond its house a world,

and beyond its world a heaven."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson -

Destiny

"Watch your thoughts; they become words

Watch your words; they become actions

Watch your actions; they become habits

Watch your habits; they become character

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny"  - Frank Outlaw -

Suffering

"I'm not sure God wants us to be happy. I think he wants us to love, and be loved. But we are like children, thinking our toys will make us happy and the whole world is our nursery. Something must drive us out of that nursery and into the lives of others, and that something is suffering."  - C. S. Lewis -

Underestimate

"If you don't underestimate me, I won't underestimate you."  - Bob Dylan -

Happiness

"Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them."  - Robert R. Updegraff -

Counts

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."  - Albert Einstein -

Laugh

"Laugh till you weep. Weep till there's nothing left but to laugh at your weeping. In the end it's all one."  - Frederick Buechner -

Innovation

Light
