    Francis of Assisi
    “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
    where there is hatred, let me sow love;
    when there is injury, pardon;
    where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope;
    where there is darkness, light;
    and where there is sadness, joy.
    Grant that I may not so much seek
    to be consoled as to console;
    to be understood, as to understand,
    to be loved as to love;
    for it is in giving that we receive,
    it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
    and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.”
    Francis Of Assisi

    Abraham Joshua Heschel
    “The primary purpose of prayer is not to make requests. The primary purpose is to praise, to sing, to chant. Because the essence of prayer is a song, and man cannot live without a song.

    Walt Whitman
    “Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
    You must travel it by yourself.

    Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
    Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.”
    Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

    Richelle E. Goodrich
    “Life is a valuable and unique opportunity
    to discover who you are.
    But it seems as soon as you near
    answering that age-old question,
    something unexpected always happens
    to alter your course.
    And who it is you thought you were
    suddenly changes.

    Then comes the frustrating realization
    that no matter how long life endures,
    no matter how many experiences
    are muddled through in this existence,
    you may never really be able
    to answer the question....

    Who am I?

    Because the answer, like the seasons,
    constantly, subtly, inevitably changes.
    And who it is you are today
    is not the same person you will be tomorrow.”
    Richelle E. Goodrich, Eena, The Dawn and Rescue

    Giving Birth by Marcus Amaker

    do you remember
    when the earth was just a baby,
    settling in its skin,
    safe in the arms of mother nature
    with fire breathing from within.
    you were not shackled by time
    and life roamed around your heart
    with the weight of dinosaurs,
    leaving footprints in your lungs.
    and the first time you saw the sun
    you could barely breathe
    because the possibility of endless light
    planted a seed
    so you admire the strength of trees,
    who naturally grew into
    unwavering beauty,
    staring down the mouth of
    time.

    do you remember being 11 years old
    when your mother told you
    “birth is more painful than dying”
    and you burst with dreams
    without even trying,
    seeking light in your heart,
    where shadows now rest
    comfortably next to fear.
    but you come out of the woods clear,
    with nature’s breath
    under your tongue,
    and a weightless bliss,
    no longer scared of
    death.”
    Marcus Amaker

    Nancy Janes
    “Our days and years are strung upon
    The thread that runs so true.
    The game of life is played and
    Lost to love.

    -Nancy Janes

    Nancy Janes”
    Nancy Janes, The Boy Who Walked a Way

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
    “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
    Marilyn Monroe

    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • #29
    Gilda Radner
    “I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
    Delicious Ambiguity.”
    Gilda Radner
