Some of us live and some of us die
Someday God's gonna tell us why
Open your hearts and grow with what life sends
We'll meet one day at the festival of friends

Loving Kindness Practice

Metta, or Loving Kindness Practice is a way consciously activating the energy of loving kindness.
An example of a Metta Meditation is:
"May I be filled with Loving Kindness.
May I be healthy.May I be filled with Joy.
May I be Free"
One can say it first for oneself, then for specific other people and then for all beings.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God;
your playing small doesn't serve the world.

Change is not something that we should fear.
Rather, it is something that we should welcome.
For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom,
and no one in this world would ever move forward
to become the person they're meant to be.

Lord of the Starfield, Ancient of Days
Universe maker, Here's a song in your praise
Voice of the nova, Smile of the dew
All of our yearnings only come home to you
Oh love that fires the sun keep me burning

Knowing others is intelligence.
Knowing yourself is true wisdom.

Marilynne Robinson

"We routinely disqualify testimony that would plead for extenuation. That is, we are so persuaded by the rightness of our judgement as to invalidate evidence that does not confirm us in it. Nothing that deserves to be called truth could be arrived at by such means".

Man did not weave the web of life,
he is merely a strand in it
Whatever he does to the web,
he does to himself.
