“Everybody has a part of her body that she doesn’t
like, but I’ve stopped complaining about mine because
I don’t want to critique nature’s handiwork…

My job is simply to allow the light
to shine out of the masterpiece.”

 

 ~ Alfre Woodard

A path is made by walking on it.

Chuang Tzu

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl." 

- Stephan Hoeller 

“Whether success or failure: the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.”
