To Ache And Be Whole

Conquer the angry one

by not getting angry;

Conquer the wicked

by goodness;

Conquer the stingy

by generosity, and

the liar by

speaking the truth. Buddha

I've always felt that 

a person's intelligence

is directly reflected

 by the number of 

conflicting points of view

he can entertain 

simultaneously

 on the same topic. 

    Abigail Adams

Our happiness comes 

from simple things like

 love and friendship , a 

clear conscience, peaceful mind, 

a gentle and kindly spirit; a 

sense of duty and an 

awareness of beauty. Happiness 

does not depend on the 

position we hold, the size of 

our bank account or whether 

we live in one room or a mansion.. 

As someone said, 'Happiness 

is an inside job.'

Rev. Paul Osumi

Opportunity often 

comes disguised in the 

form of misfortune, 

or temporary defeat.

                         Napoleon Hill

Soft like a breeze 

Sharp as thorn

Life rushes on

Daily reborn.

Paint brush joy 

Dripping my favorite hue

Coloring these moments

Shades of me and you.

Better to feel

To ache

And be whole

Than drift like a shadow

Vacant of soul.
