LOVE as we Do … ( 08 / 18 / 2011 )
“ The wisdom , the strength , the confidence , the awakened heart & mind are always accessible — here , now , always . We are simply uncovering them … We are rediscovering them . We are not inventing them or importing them from somewhere else . They are here . That ’ s why when we feel caught in the darkness , suddenly the clouds can part … The main question is , are we living in a way that adds aggression & self-centeredness to the mix , or are we adding some much-needed sanity ?” ~ Pema Chodron
“ What does Love look like ? It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men … It has eyes to see misery and want … It has the hands to help others … And it has the feet to hasten to those poor and needy . That is what Love looks like .” ~ inspired by Saint Augustine
… and in addition to those qualities , Love has the Courage to be assaulted by fear & steeped in doubt , and yet keep on Loving anyway .
“ Your friend is your deepest needs answered . She is the field in which you sow your Love and reap your thanksgiving . And in this sweetness of Friendship let there be laughter … for it is in the dew of little things , that the Heart finds its morning and is refreshed .” ~ inspired by Kahlil Gibran
