Donna Goddard
“To forgive oneself does not negate the need to undo mistakes. True forgiveness desires to make things right. Making things right is not equivalent to guilt. The need to undo mistakes cannot be replaced by guilt. In fact, being immobilised by guilt is an avoidance of fixing things up. It makes one powerless and gives one an excuse to remain passive and negligent. To continuously feel guilty over wrong doing is both ego-confirmatory and ineffective in correcting bad karma. Guilt is the initial spur to action. Then we act in order to correct both our thoughts and the karma, and we leave the guilt behind.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“THREE BASIC TRUTHS

Three things have a limited threshold:
Time, pain, and death.
While truth, love, and knowledge –
Are boundless.

Three things are needed
For humanity to co-exist:
Truth, peace and basic needs.
Everything else -
Is irrelevant.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Ruth Boukhari
“Along my lips my blood does weep
as I mourn the love that kissed me deep,
’twas not enough to make my heart melt—
he has to use it to gloss his lips like diamonds,
diamonds they were when they kissed mine
wounding lacerations and slices the like.
But I don’t shine; I don’t speak
and see this heart? It no longer beats.”
Ruth Boukhari, Forlorn

Ruth Boukhari
“My never-ending pursuit of pain-avoidance
ultimately leads
to replacing one hurt with another.
Unruly pleasure
leads to bitter rage.
And these lessons I cannot learn
from beloveds who become
so cavalier.”
Ruth Boukhari, Forlorn
