Always...
“To look life in the face,
always,
to look life in the face,
and to know it for what it is...
at last,
to love it for what it is,
and then to put it away.”
Virgina Woolf
to play -> to build a home
Love the moment.
Flowers grow out of dark moments.
Therefore, each moment is vital.
It affects the whole.
Life is a succession of such moments
and to live each,
is to succeed.
Corita Kent

Quotes.... and my thoughts
God is
a condition of Being—
not a person,
not a place.

"If I was to personally define faith or spirituality, I would say that it is the binding force that we humans have to protect and heal our hearts from becoming tarnished by the circumstances that life presents us and that in which bonds us humans together. I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the human spirit.
The spirit of humanity, like the forces of nature, is just as much a development of the evolutionary process as physical life is; that the origin of spiritual life comes from within our hearts.
It is the source of our power, our faith, that keeps us going, that which inspires and enables us to keep going in this journey we call life.
Faith is the most centered act of the human mind.
Faith is the energy, it is the creator of change.
Faith is active, positively and fearlessly upheld."
-Isabel Gallagher (my thoughts)
A friend is the miracle of human warmth that God operates in the heart.
"Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible."
- Mary McLeod Bethune
"Wherever there is a human being, there is a chance for a kindness."
- Seneca
"The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil."
- Cicero
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
-Albert Einstein
"The moral sense reappears today with the same morning newness that has been from of old the fountain of beauty and strength. You say there is no religion now. 'Tis like saying in rainy weather, There is no sun, when at that moment we are witnessing one of its superlative effects."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear."
- Felix Adler: An Ethical Philosophy of Life
"This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness..."
