Life is beautiful!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
It's loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health,
and quiet breathing.
JOHN KEATS
Ÿ
There are three things
which are too wonderful for me;
yeah, four things which I know not;
the way of an eagle in the air
the way of a serpent on a rock
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea
and the way of a man with a maid.
PROVERBS 30:18--19
Ÿ
"Peace is all around us; in the world and in nature, and within us--in our bodies and our spirits. Once we learn to touch this peace,
we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith, it is a matter of practice."
THICH NHAT HANH
God is good!
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand my fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you."
PSALM 91: 1--7
Ÿ
If you realize that all things change,
There is nothing you will try to hold on to.
If you aren't afraid of dying,
There is nothing you can't achieve.
Trying to control the future is like trying to take the master carpenter's place.
When you handle the master carpenter's tools, chances are that you'll cut your hand.
LAU-TZU
Tao te Ching ~ Verse 74
Translated by Stephen Mitchell
Ÿ
"God answers sudden and sharp on some prayers, and thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, a gauntlet with a gift in it."

"The literal meaning of 'healing' is 'becoming whole.' It is possible to have an inner sense of wholeness, perfection, balance, and peace,
even if the physical body is not perfect."

"I found the months after cancer at least as challenging as the months with cancer…It was a transition period during which the physical and emotional aftereffects of cancer treatment slowly disappeared or reached a plateau that helped to define the new me."
Dr. Wendy Harpham,

Ÿ
"In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present."
