Where God is, there can be no despair, and God is in me, even if I despair.

- Thomas Merton

I was young once.
I walked alone,
and I became lost on my way.
I felt like I was rich
When I met another traveler-
people’s joy is in other people.

-Hãvamãl

In this way I shall be shaped in my whole inner being,
according to the inspired words of the text that I am saying.
I am possessed by God's word:
It enters into composition with my own subjectivity
and acts as leaven
In the process of my transformation.

- Michael Casey

We must obey with a big, willing heart, faithful to the least detail.
We must have a soul that has learned to see and love-even in the least prescriptions- the most holy will of God.
If we love Christ, we will live according to his will.

- Mother Teresa

God his life. Got his life in action. The best way to say “I love you, God” Is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say “Thank you God” Is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now.

You were born with the right to be happy.

- Miguel Ruiz

My arm for a pillow,
I really like myself
Under the hazy moon.

‍

For Self is a sea boundless and measureless.
Say not “I have found the truth” but rather “I have found a truth.”
See, not “I have found the path of the soul” Say rather “I have met this soul walking up on my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul unfolds itself, like a Lotus of countless petals.

-Kahlil Gibran

‍

We were busy
dancing and crying
sticking our fingers
into empty spaces
in our chests and talking
about all the ways
we could fill them.

and life didn't hurt so much then
and we were happy enough.
and it was precious.

- Anna Corniffe

‍

God picks up the reed-flute world and blows.
Each note is a need coming through one of us,
a passion, a longing pain.

Remember the lips

where the wind breath originated,
and let your note be clear.
Don't try to end it.
Be your note.
Sing loud!

- Rumi
