It Is Possible

“There is no beauty greater than the smile of peace and wisdom glowing on your face.” (Paramahansa Yogananda)


Oh so many worries
Weighting you down
Your relatives’ problems
Your bank account
It is all part of living
So don’t deny the worry
But live with it differently
It is possible to have a concern
And still smile
It is possible to allow
Life to be good
It is possible to be
At peace with contrast
It is possible to know
Joy from inside out
Let your worries be your fuel
Transform them into solutions
Wake up every day knowing
There is always more
There is always more
To dream and to achieve
Because it is possible to be
Smiling with peace
Glowing with wisdom
From within

The Autumn of Your Life

“You can’t hide your true colors as you approach the autumn of your life”.
(Unknown)

The time has come again
To shed all the barriers
All the unnecessary filters
That are diminishing the Light
Whatever you picked up along the way
No need for inventory
Time to look ahead and
Move forward
It’s the autumn of your Life
Love yourself
Shedding
Shedding
Letting Go

“We cling to our point of view, as though everything depended on it.  Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn, they gradually pass away.”
(Chuang Tzu)

“Nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn”.
(Umberto Eco)

Truly Wonderful


Children are truly wonderful – here are some quotes that touch on being a kid and letting a kid be a kid…

Kids are… high with Life!

“Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.”
(Aristotle)

“Raising children should mean helping them to become what they already are in God’s eyes.”
(Eberhard Arnold)

“If you can give your son or daughter only one gift… Let it be enthusiasm.”
(Bruce Barton)

“Children learn more from what you are, than what you teach.”
(W. E. B. Du Bois)

“Do not ask that your kids live up to your expectations. Let your kids be who they are, and your expectations will be in breathless pursuit.”
(Robert Brault)

“Children are our future, and the only way for the world to evolve, as I have been shown it should be, is for each generation to be more loving and compassionate than the one before. This is only possible if we support the children around us, and protect and encourage them so that they don’t need to lock their love away.”
(Lora Byrne)

“The most sophisticated people I know – inside they are all children.”
(Jim Henson)

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.”
(Yoda, Start Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones)

Yes, my child, yes
Life is made of openness
Innocent embracing
Hearts wanting to share
The love and joy
They carry inside
If there is one thing
I would like you to do
Is to hold on to that love
Hold on to that joy
And yes, yes, yes
Say yes to Life
