"The goal of life is to make your
heartbeat match the beat
of the universe, to match
your nature with Nature."
~Joseph Campbell
If we surrendered to earth's intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees. ~Rainer Maria Rilke

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~John Lennon
To embark on the journey towards your goals and dreams requires bravery. To remain on that path requires courage. The bridge that merges the two is commitment. ~Steve Maraboli
“The poetry of the earth is never dead.” ~John Keats
Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace
all living creatures and the whole of nature and it’s beauty. ― Albert Einstein
This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. ~Susan Polis Schutz

Listening takes place not just through the ears, but with all the senses. Sometimes the best way to prepare ourselves to hear in a new and better way is to be still and silent. When we quiet our motor minds — and our motor mouths — we find that we are better able to open our hearts. ~Lama Surya Das
For someone deeply trapped in a prison of thought, how good it can feel to meet a mind that hears, a heart that reassures. It’s as if a listening mind is, in and of itself, an invitation to another mind to listen too. How much it can mean when we accept the invitation and hear the world anew. ~Ram Dass and Paul Gorman.
