You must accept that you might fail;
then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied
that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set
high goals, and you don't branch out, you don't try-you don't take the risk.

Growth begins
when we begin
to accept our own weakness
~Jean Vanier

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow
sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We
are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past,
present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the
present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
~Anais Nin

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
~Leo Tolstoy

May we not succumb to thoughts of
violence and revenge today,
but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion.
We are to love our enemies
that they might be returned to their right minds.
~*~
The practice of forgiveness is our most important
contribution to the healing of the world.

"Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see
the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we
call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately.
Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now
savor the sweet."

Everyone has inside himself a
piece of good news!
The good news is that you really don't know how great you
can be,
how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential
is!

The most terrifying
thing
is to accept oneself completely.

Lullaby by Sia - For Mom...
Lullaby
by Sia
Send a wish upon a star
Do the work and you'll go far
Send a wish upon a star
Make a map and there you are
Send a hope upon a wave
A dying wish before the grave
Send a hope upon a wave
For all this souls you failed to save
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a question in the wind
It's hard to know where to begin
So send the question in the wind
And give an answer to a friend
Place your past into a book
Put in everything you ever took
Place your past into a book
Burn the pages let them cook
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a wish upon a star
Send a wish upon a star
A dying wish before the grave
Send a hope upon a wave
For all this souls you failed to save
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a question in the wind
It's hard to know where to begin
So send the question in the wind
And give an answer to a friend
Place your past into a book
Put in everything you ever took
Place your past into a book
Burn the pages let them cook
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Send a wish upon a star
Send a wish upon a star
Bye Mom, Rest in Peace
I love you...

For my Mother....
When I'm gone; don't cry for me
I am not dead; I'm in sweet eternity
I'll live forever; I'll wait for all of you
When it’s your time; it’s what God would have us do.
I am not dead; I'm in sweet eternity
I'll live forever; I'll wait for all of you
When it’s your time; it’s what God would have us do.
He called my name; He said come home
I did not die; please do not cry; I will no more roam
I'll be by our Savior forever; soon, you too
We’ll walk in the light; praising God in all that we do.
Do not mourn for me; I have sweet victory
I'll walk in Gods’ garden; and glories see
I am not dead; He set me free; an Angel called to me
Its beautiful here; Heavens’ full of cheer; you'll see.
I did not die my love; I only went ahead
I knew you’d understand; though I know this, you'll dread
That will pass too; do all God would have you do
Maybe up there God will let me have; a glimpse of you.
I did not die, so do not cry; I'll meet you here one day
Jesus will send an Angel to bring you to me; all the way
Our love is sure; our hearts are strong
I did not die, so please don't cry; I am home
this is for my Mother, fighting for her life.
she once read this to me just after my Dad passed away.
