Snips

"Forget every idea of right and wrong any classroom ever taught you. Because an empty heart, a tormented mind, unkindness, jealousy and fear are always the testimony that you have been completely fooled. Turn your back on those who would imprison your wondrous spirit with deceit and lies. Come join the honest company of the king’s beggars, those gamblers, scoundrels and divine clowns and those astonishing fair courtesans who need divine love every night. Come join the courageous who have no choice but to bet their entire world that indeed God is real. Let me lead you into the circle of the Beloved’s cunning thieves, those playful royal rouges, the ones you can trust for true guidance who can aid you in this blessed calamity of life."
Hafiz


We can learn to take care of ourselves during the process of initiating and forming relationships. We can learn to go slowly. We can learn to pay attention. We can allow ourselves to make mistakes, even when we know better. We can stop blaming our relationships on God and begin to take responsibility for them. We can learn to enjoy the healthy relationships and remove ourselves more quickly from the dysfunctional ones. We can learn to look for what's good for us, instead of what's good for the other person.
Melody Beattie


To fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally - you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The Whole intends to do something through you.
