“What we need is to love without getting tired. How does a lamp burn? Through the continuous input of small drops of oil. What are these drops of oil in our lamps? They are the small things of daily life: faithfulness, small words of kindness, a thought for others, our way of being silent, of looking, of speaking, and of acting. Do not look for Jesus away from yourselves. He is not out there; He is in you. Keep your lamp burning, and you will recognize Him.”
― Mother Teresa, No Greater Love

“Before she left She was gone before she left. Her heart started walking away long before
she physically made her way out. She started leaving when you began to put her
in the shadows, when you found more important things to
invest your time in than being in her presence, when the things that made her smile became a
burden you once carried for the sake of
winning her heart, when her ears became a well that you
dropped your promises in with no intention of
picking them up and fulfilling them. She was gone mentally and emotionally. Her physically leaving was just a delayed
response.”
― Pierre Jeanty, Ashes of Her Love

“I am not delicate.
I am skinny dipping at 2am;
I am dancing naked under the full moon and playing in the mud.
I am the reverberating echoes of a curse word ricocheting off the steeply sloping mountain you thought I couldn’t climb;
I am bare skin in the deepest depths of winter; I am the song of courage, and the melody of freedom you long to sing.
I am a fearless mother.
I am a passionate lover; a devoted friend.
I am the healer, the witch, the nurturing of your wounds.
I am the heat of a wildfire, the rage of a storm.
I am strong.
Delicate things are pretty-cute, even.
But I am not delicate.
I am wild, fierce and unpredictable.
I am breathtaking.
I am beautiful.
I am sacred.”

“The meaning of the Mayan greeting, "In Lak'ech Ala K'in", means – I am you, and you are another me. It is spoken by placing one’s hands over one’s heart. This greeting is not only given to humans, but to all life – the plants, the animals, the birds, the sky, the air, the land, and the sunrise.”
