Reflections

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was greater than the risk it took to blossom.

For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.

Whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking.

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

This is the world.

I know these are scary, uncertain,  hurtful times, but I really wish  people would stop talking about  what a trash fire the world is.

In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.

\Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it’s important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level.

When we release expectation and experience appreciation, all the moments of our lives become openings and opportunities.
