“While you were overthinking, you missed everything worth feeling.”

“There comes a time in everyone's life,
When we can't see the passage of answers.
In every journey there is darkness and there is light,
There is fear and there is hope.
As we travel through the chapters of time,
We often forget that we are the light which illuminates our whole being,
Serenity arrives when we are able to recognise and accept ourselves in an ever changing world,
Where we welcome and cherish our rarity,
This is one of the rarest and most treasured gifts we will find in this lifetime.”
― Mimi Novic, Brilliance of Dawn

“Spiritual humility is not about getting small, not about debasing oneself, but about approaching everything and everyone else with a readiness to see goodness and to be surprised. This is the humility of a child, which Jesus lauded. It is the humility of the scientist and the mystic. It has a lightness of step, not a heaviness of heart. That lightness is the surest litmus test I know for recognizing wisdom when you see it in the world or feel its stirrings in yourself. The questions that can lead us are already alive in our midst, waiting to be summoned and made real. It is a joy to name them. It is a gift to plant them in our senses, our bodies, the places we inhabit, the part of the world we can see and touch and help to heal. It is a relief to claim our love of each other and take that on as an adventure, a calling. It is a pleasure to wonder at the mystery we are and find delight in the vastness of reality that is embedded in our beings. It is a privilege to hold something robust and resilient called hope, which has the power to shift the world on its axis.”
― Krista Tippett, Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living

“Some friends are more significant and important than other friends. A special friend can often change your life for the better. You will know when this special person enters your life because of the respect you have for them. They will never lie or set you aside for someone or something else. You will have undying trust in this person that any words spoken will never find another ear. They always returned calls at the earliest possible time. They will check in often to see what is going on in your life and just talk. Your accomplishments will be applauded with praise and losses will never be repeated. This friend has you melted within their heart as you do theirs. When you find such a person be sure to return the love and understand they have gifted you and your life.”
