"But listen to me ...."



“But listen to me. For one moment
quit being sad. Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you.”

"And still, after all this time, the Sun ...."


“And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
‘You owe me.’
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.”
Rumi

"If I am not for myself ...."




“If I am not for myself,
who will be for me?

If I am for myself only,
what am i?

But if not now, when?
Hillel

"My heart leaps when I behold ...."


"My heart leaps when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
      Or let me die!
The Child is the father of the Man:
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety."

William Wordsworth
