“If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out.
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. “
~Mother Teresa
Who is man?
The reflection of the Eternal Light.
What is the world?
A wave on the Everlasting Sea.
How could the reflection be cut off from the Light?
How could the wave be separate from the Sea?
Know that this reflection and this wave are that very Light and Sea.
~Jami
“O lamps of fire!
in whose splendors
the deep caverns of feeling,
once obscure and blind,
now give forth, so rarely, so exquisitely,
both warmth and light to their Beloved.
How gently and lovingly
you wake in my heart,
where in secret you dwell alone;
and in your sweet breathing,
filled with good and glory,
how tenderly you swell my heart with love.”
~John of the Cross
Laughing At the Word Two
Only
That Illumined
One
Who keeps
Seducing the formless into form
Had the charm to win my
Heart.
Only a Perfect One
Who is always
Laughing at the word
Two
Can make you know
Of
Love.
~Hafiz
“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”
~Albert Einstein
“There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist.
As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body.
The wise are not deluded by these changes.”
~Bhagavad Gita
“Apply yourself both now and in the next life.
Without effort, you cannot be prosperous.
Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.”
~Plato
“Though the circular round-and-round of routine be the bulk of life’s affairs, make an occasional jutting diversion – of fun, love, or something that will outlast you – so the shape and motion of your life shall resemble the round lifegiving sun with bright rays shining forth from all directions.”
~Terri Guillemets
- The marvels of God are not brought forth from one’s self. Rather, it is more like a chord, a sound that is played.
- The tone does not come out of the chord itself, but rather, through the touch of the Musician.
- I am, of course, the lyre and harp of God’s kindness.
- ~Hildegard of Bingen
Mother Teresa‘s Anyway Poem
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
