The Invitation - Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It...

Love and Life Quotes by Scott Fitzgerald
Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation– the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and…

All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," by Robert Fulgham
All I Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," by Robert Fulgham All of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.…

“If Life is a Question Mark” by Tyler Knott Gregson
“If Life is a Question Mark” by Tyler Knott Gregson What if all we have ever wanted isn’t hiding in some secret and far away dream but inside of us now as we breathe one another and find home in the way our arms always seem to fit perfectly around the spaces between us? What if we are the answer...

From “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coehlo
From “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coehlo “We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little...

Describing Love by Bob Marley
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come…

I Love You Without Knowing How by Pablo Neruda
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks…

— Juansen Dizon, Describing Home
“Maybe home is somebody’s smile when they look at you for the first time, and it’s like they want to love loving you for the rest of their life. Maybe home is someone’s arms after a long tiring day, and all they need to say is that you’re okay for their words to find a home in your heart. Maybe...

Write it on your heart that every day is good the best day in the year. By Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget...

A Smile By Jez Alborough
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu. When someone smiled at me today I started smiling, too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin. When he smiled, I realized, I'd passed it on to him. I thought about my smile and then I realized its worth. A single smile like mine could...

Don't Quit By John Greenleaf Whittier
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is strange with its twists and...

Awakening Now (Danna Faulds)
Awakening Now (Danna Faulds) Why wait for your awakening? Do you value your reasons for staying small more than the light shining through the open door? Forgive yourself, Forgive yourself. Now is the only time you have to be whole. Now. Now is the sole moment that exists to live in the light of...

Picking Blueberries (Mary Oliver)
Picking Blueberries (Mary Oliver) Once, in summer, In the blueberries, I fell asleep, and woke When a deer stumbled against me. I guess She was so busy with her own happiness She had grown careless And was just wandering along Listening To the wind as she leaned down To lip up the sweetness. So,...

Self-Observation Without Judgment (Danna Faulds)
Self-Observation Without Judgment (Danna Faulds) Release the harsh and pointed inner voice. it's just a throwback to the past, and holds no truth about this moment. Let go of self-judgment, the old, learned ways of beating yourself up for each imagined inadequacy. Allow the dialogue within the…

The Journey by Mary Oliver
The Journey One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice– though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to do,...

THE PROMISE by Jeff Foster
THE PROMISE In this presence beyond presence, In this place that is no place at all, In this warm embrace I call myself, Even a ‘no’ is a secret yes, Even resistance is deeply allowed, Even doubt is a celebration of life. Come, all you unloved creatures, All you homeless waves in life’s vast…

A POEM FOR NO-ONE by Jeff Foster
A POEM FOR NO-ONE Who has been wearing these shoes? Who has been walking in these footsteps? Who eats this breakfast? Speaks these words? Breathes? Moves as I do? Who has known both the mountains of bliss and the valleys of total disillusionment? Who has journeyed into the abyss and come out...

LOVE BEYOND LOVE by Jeff Foster
Love, knowing that the one you love may not be here tomorrow, knowing that today may be your last day to truly meet, knowing that you cannot know how the story ends. For what is left in this life if you have nothing to lose? Care, care deeply, care until it hurts, care in spite of what people…

The Promise of a Shaman by Unknown Author
The Promise of a Shaman If you come to me as a victim I will not support you. But, I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering. I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth. I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and...

Take the last of everything I have! By Tyler Knott Gregson
I will never be the first of so many things for you. I came too late, after life and love were woven into the tapestry of your existence.

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the...

The Road Not Travel by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear;...

Love at First Sight by Tyler Knott Gregson
I believe in love at first sight but I will always believe that the people we love we have loved before. Many, many, many times before and when we stumble through grace and circumstance and that brilliant illusion of choice to finally meet them again, we feel it faster each time through. The one...

The Guest House by Rumi
A poem on mindfulness The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
