Never be in a hurry;
do everything quietly and
in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace
for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole
world seems upset.
Francis de Sales
Be the person
you needed when
you were growing up.
Joseph Meyering Sr.
Just like moons
and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes
springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Maya Angelou
The air tastes new.
I stretch into optimism,
letting it settle
on my shoulders
like sunlight after rain.
The days are
still imperfect, but
I meet them
with open hands,
ready to gather
what goodness comes.

Shell Ginger
Be like the shell ginger
Bloom with gentle courage
Not loud, but kind
Carry the calm fragrance
Of oceans remembered.
