We are fragments of something whose size and shape we do not know, but as fragments of it, we are essential to its wholeness. This means that you and I have an assignment, an opportunity, a call to the light. There are dark places where love is not yet felt and known and expressed in our world, and it is our opportunity to bring the light into those places. It is in this way that we begin to discover and feel God's presence, and we begin to find a deeper relationship with God.
Mary Manin Morrissey

We are not victims of life. We can learn to remove ourselves as victims of life. By letting go of our belief that life has to be hard and difficult, we make our life much easier.
Melody Beattie

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just is some of us; it's in everyone.
Marianne Williamson

Taking off your shoes is a sacred ritual. It is a hallowed moment of remembering the goodness of space and time. It is a way of celebrating the holy ground on which you started.
Marcina Wiederkehr

Only decisions made in peace can be carried out in peace. There is no right thought about any issue or difficulty, yet the ego searches ceaselessly to come up with one. Ultimately, this mental agitation is more distressing than the problem I face. There are countless good ways to proceed but only one good motivation. Any time I act in peace, I ensure peace of mind within the outcome.
Hugh Prather

Do not say,"it is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.
Rabindranath Tagore

Gratitude is here presented as more than a feeling, a virtue, or an experience; gratitude emerges as an attitude we can freely choose in order to create a better life for ourselves and for others. The Nigerian Hausa put it this way: Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.
