“Life seems as though it were planned; and there is something IN us that’s causing what you hear of as being accident prone: it’s something in ourselves. There is a mystery here.

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." ~Oscar Wilde

"To some people, surrender may have negative connotations, implying defeat, giving up, failing to rise to the challenges of life, becoming lethargic, and so on. True surrender, however, is something entirely different. It does not mean to passively put up with whatever situation you find yourself in and to do nothing about it. Nor does it mean to cease making plans or initiating positive action. Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life." ~ Eckhart Tolle

"What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have." ~Ralph Marston

"What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
~Crowfoot

“When facing adversity, we may think we’ve reached our limit, but actually the more trying the circumstances, the closer we are to making a breakthrough. The darker the night, the nearer the dawn.

"When life plays a joke on you, it's not funny. Until it dawns on you that the joke was on itself and you were the unwilling joker.

LET LIFE FLOW

"Let life flow.
May we touch the earth lightly.
May we cultivate beauty and nourishment wherever we can.
May we protect ourselves from what is harsh.
May we stay open to what is tender and healing.
May we touch and be touched by the life force we share.
And, most humbly, may we know Spirit in it all.
May we live in peace."
~Stephanie Dowrick from Heaven on Earth.
