“Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don't know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“من سوء حظي أَني نجوت مرارًا
من الموت حبًا
ومن حسن حظي أني ما زلت هشًا
لأدخل في التجربةْ!
يقول المحب المجرب في سره:
هو الحب كذبتنا الصادقةْ
فتسمعه العاشقةْ
وتقول : هو الحب، يأتي ويذهب
كالبرق والصاعقة”
― محمود درويش, لا أريد لهذي القصيدة أن تنتهي

“Every falling leaf reminds me that I too will soon be separated from these trees. Trying to capture freedom is like trying to catch a falling leaf. Occasionally you may grab one out of the air and hold it in your hands, but now what?”
― Daniel J. Rice, This Side of a Wilderness

“God help us to live slowly:
To move simply:
To look softly:
To allow emptiness:
To let the heart create for us.
Amen.”
― Michael Leunig
