The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people
is that they trigger confusion in usthat we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with.
To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves,
we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
- Pema Chodron
Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.
- Rabindranath Tagore
Science may have found a cure for most evils;
but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all --
the apathy of human beings.
- Helen Keller
We cannot direct the wind,
but we can adjust the sails.

I Receive ALL of Life with Thanksgiving -
I have gratitude for EVERYTHING that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.
I give thanks for the joys and the sufferings, the moments of peace and the flashes of anger,
the compassion and the indifference, the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.
I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience.
Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
