Different People Need Different Stories

Why are different readers drawn to different stories? What We Love I’m not a fiction reader, even though I write fiction. However, I go through stages of being interested in various types of stories. I can’t remember the last time I read a novel in the traditional way, but I occasionally listen to an audio …

Enanika by Donna Goddard
“Everything is in its right place. Nothing is out of place. Nothing is unnecessary. And everything that is necessary is here. Not only is everything present, but it has always been so. Everything is contained within this one moment.”

Enanika by Donna Goddard
“You have all the help you need, and if you ever feel helpless, know that it is not that your guides are absent, but that you have disconnected. They will not leave you.”

Riverland by Donna Goddard
"This is a very calm and simple book with a nice idea at its center. The message about love for pets and a peaceful afterlife for animals is sweet and easy to understand. It’s the kind of story you read to a child before bed without needing to explain" Read more of this review »
Writing by Donna Goddard
"Strong recommendation on many levels

I have read many books on writing techniques and spiritual insights. I am what is now being called a super-ager. (late 70's on up). This book speaks truth as I have learned it and experienced it. Thank you so much," Read more of this review »

Quotes by Donna Goddard  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Dancing, at its best, is independence and intimacy in balance.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”
Kahlil Gibran, Mirrors of the Soul

“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”
Khalil Gibran
tags: love

“Your daily life is your temple and your religion.”
Kahill Gibran

“Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.”
Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.
This is but half the truth.
You are also as strong as your strongest link.
To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean
by the frailty of its foam.
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
