Nourishing the Soul

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

“It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life that ultimately nourish our souls. It’s the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is firm.”

Quote Mr Fred Rogers

Peace in Everyday Life

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Alphabet and Numbers of Life.

Friday, October 16th, 2009

” What matters isn’t how a person’s inner life finally puts together the alphabet and numbers of his outer life. What really matters is whether he uses the alphabet for the declaration of a war or the description of a sunrise-his numbers for the final count at Buchenwald or the specifics of a brand-new bridge.”

Forgiveness

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

” Forgiveness is a strange thing.  It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends.  It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love.  Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.”
