Love is not a doctrine. Peace is not an international agreement.
Love and Peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.
~Mary Caroline Richards
In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us.
Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready
to accept it. When you truly find love, you find yourself.
~Deepak Chopra
Love is the way we show peace,
Love sets us free.
Love is the bond that joins us
to our community.
Love is the answer
that we’ve been searching for.
It lives inside all of us,
just open up the door,
And Love to find Peace…

Living a positive life gives you better quality to your life Life is short! Reach out and grab it while you have it! Embrace all those little daily things! Take time to smell the roses Don’t rush through life. Live one day at a time. Stop worrying so much, it gets you no where. Accept what will be! Let go of all those things that weigh you down! Live, Love & Laugh. ~Suzie Pierce
We spend the first half of our lives trying to grow up
and the other half trying to figure out how we got so old!
~Nishan Panwar
Love is never the poorer for being accompanied by wisdom. It is not harmed by being deprived of a crown. The agonies we endure and inflict in the name of love come from making love bear too heavy a weight. While we are in the world and engaged in the life of a householder we will naturally form attachments to family, job, friends, and lovers, but the suffering produced from these attachments will vary according to our wisdom and maturity. If we see nothing higher at all and abandon ourselves to the lottery of gaining and losing, we will surely suffer great pain, but if we keep the ideals of the Dhamma before us we will gain a measure of insulation against worldly inclemencies.

This video represents the life cycle of a chicken in a fun way. It shows the hatching of an egg in the incubator in real time. A person can see the chick while it’s forcing its self out of the egg.
Our actions are all led by the mind;
mind is their master, mind is their maker.
If one acts or speaks with a defiled state of mind,
then suffering follows like the cart-wheel
that follows the foot of the ox.
Our actions are all led by the mind;
mind is their master, mind is their maker.
If one acts or speaks with a pure state of mind,
then happiness follows like a shadow
that remains behind without departing.
— Dhammapada
Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time – we haven’t time –
and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. ― Georgia O’Keeffe
