What They Have Come Into the World to Give

The way the world gets healed not is not by
getting a good idea that everybody agrees with,
but by more people awakening to who they are
and learning how to give what they have come
into the world to give.

Michael Meade

Love Many Things

The best way to know life
is to love many things.

Vincent van Gogh

Nothing More Artistic

The more I think about it,

the more I realize there is nothing

more artistic that to love others.

Vincent van Gogh

No Flowers Grow There

Normality is a paved road:
it's comfortable to walk,
but no flowers grow there.

Vincent van Gogh

Grow Silently

A seed grows with no sound
but a tree falls with huge noise.
Destruction has noise,
but creation is quiet.
This is the power of silence ...
grow silently.

Confucius

A Creative Force

As my sufferings mounted I soon realized
that there were two ways in which I could
respond to my situation - either to react
with bitterness or seek to transform
the suffering into a creative force.
I decided to follow the latter course.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Enjoy the Silence

Silence is something that comes
from your heart, not from outside. 
Silence doesn't mean not talking
and not doing things; it means
that you are not disturbed inside.
It you're truly silent, then no matter
what situation you find yourself in
you can enjoy the silence.

Thich Nhat Hanh
