"Compassion is not just feeling with someone, 

but seeking to change the situation. 

Frequently people think compassion and love are merely

sentimental. 

No! They are very demanding. 

If you are going to be compassionate, 

be prepared for action!"

~Desmond Tutu



“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, 

and you do not know what it will bring back, 

a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”

Anaïs Nin



Better is an handful with quietness, than both the 

hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
  Ecclesiastes 4:6
 “Take time first to be holy. Don’t let a day go by without meditation and prayer for some definite purpose, and not for self, but that self may be the channel of help to someone else. For in helping others is the greater way to help self.” 
(Edgar Cayce reading 3624-1)

 ...I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." - Jefferson to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800
 Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 " The ultimate meaning of the Bible escapes human limits and calls us to a recognition that every life is holy, every life is loved, and every life is called to be all that that life is capable of being. The Bible is, thus, not about religion at all but about becoming deeply and fully human. It issues the invitation to live fully, to love wastefully and to have the courage to be our most complete selves." John Shelby Spong
