| "Space
and time are illusions, and they do not factor in. Indeed,
you may see the entire infinity of the universe around you
now as a consciousness unit in its own right, and that is
important. There is ultimately only one Consciousness Unit,
and its varying pulsations are simply distortions of its Oneness.
When you see the many different consciousness units of many
different gradations of [apparent] size and vibration, what
you are really seeing is simply the differentiation of Oneness
by its own free-will decisions" --------Ra /Wilcocks |

the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -- Anais

more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of
punishment." ~Mahatma Gandhi
"It
is easy to choose a path in life that has been well traveled by
many before you and crowded by many walking beside you. There
is safety in knowing the obstacles ahead, comfort and warmth from
the companionship of others and certainty in the destination.
Embarking on a journey into unknown territory requires steely
courage, an adventurous spirit, a deep belief in oneself and simple
hope for a better tomorrow." ~Marcy Blochowiak
"When
one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long

ones which open for us." ~Alexander Graham Bell

~Sasha Azevedo
Live
a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint

Fulghum
"They
do me wrong who say I come no more .When once I knock and fail
to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door, And bid
you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances
passed away; Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night
I burn the records of the day, At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys
be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with
its dead, But never bind a moment yet to come." Poem by Walter
Malone, titled "Opportunity":
Don't
go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you
nothing. It was here first. --Mark Twain
"You
can live each day in a world filled with 'problems,' or rise each
morning and embrace a world filled with unseen solutions...eager
for you to find them. The decision is yours...both worlds exist.
The one you choose is the one you will create." ~Michael McMillan
Watch
your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they
become actions. Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop
your character, for it becomes your destiny. ~Unknown
Friendship
is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival
value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
--C. S. Lewis
"Some
people just have big hearts,and with this gift they're very often
able to feel, offer, and show far more love than they receive
from those around them. Which, at times, is a heavy load to bear.
So today I'd like to remind them, and especially you, that the
sun asks not that the moon and planets help brighten each day,
but relishes her role as a keeper of the light and a bringer of
the dawn. A role much like your own." - Mike Dooley (tut.com)
Whatever
your problem, it is but a test in love. If you meet that test
through love, your problem will be solved. If you do not meet
that test through love, your problem will continue until you do!
Your problem is your initiation in love. --Catherine Ponder

People,
when given a chance smile, skip, and dance. They create,
play, and laugh. They care, share, and love. And the ones
who don't, haven't yet realized that chances are something
you give yourself.
