Courting Courage ....Friends Inspire

"There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad
daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and burns and blazes in the dark hour of adversity"--Washington Irving

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face......"--E. Roosevelt

"The things you fear undefeatable, not by their nature, but by your approach"--Jewel

"The solution lies in the awakening of the soul because our soul is really the source of knowledge.
To find our soul is to find everything and find God"--Sant Thakar Singh (who I see is ?maybe controversial...but I like his quote)

Storms
Margie DeMerelle

There will be storms, child
There will be storms
And with each tempest
You will seem to stand alone
Against cruel winds

But with time the rage and fury
Shall subside
And when the sky clears
You will find yourself
Clinging to someone
You would have never known
But for storms

And so much on my mind
"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush;
anxious for greater developments and greater
wishes and so on; so that children have very little time for parents;
parents have very little time for each other;
and the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world"-Mother Teresa

Call to healing

Physician heal thy self
Mother, sister, father, brother, partner, lover, friend
grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, cousin
stranger
heal thy self

Do not live with the splinter deep beneath a hard calus that has formed there over time...
You can walk fine.?..no pain you say...
as long as you walk just so...keep the status quo...

heal thy self

For if you try to run one day....you will see that something is wrong...
Oh yes, running is not for you...
you could never run that fast anyway, you say...

and so you hobble along....
now and then ..the desire to run...
eventually the desire is gone...

did you once desire to run....
a dream a long time ago...
never real?....do you know?

I call to you from a distance...it is but a whisper...barely audible...what?

heal thy self (whispered)
