She is Gone!

    You can shed tears that she is gone,

    or you can smile because she has lived.

    You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,

    or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

    Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,

    or you can be full of the love you shared.

    You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

    or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

    You can remember her only that she is gone,

    or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

    You can cry and close your mind,

    be empty and turn your back.

    Or you can do what she’d want:

    smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

    ~ David Harkins

    I Will Not Die An Unlived Life.

      I will not die an unlived life.

      I will not live in fear

      of falling or catching fire.

      I choose to inhabit my days,

      to allow my living to open me,

      to make me less afraid,

      more accessible;

      to loosen my heart

      until it becomes a wing,

      a torch, a promise.

      I choose to risk my significance,

      to live so that which came to me as seed

      goes to the next as blossom,

      and that which came to me as blossom,

      goes on as fruit.

      ~ Dawna Markova

                “A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

                  "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." ~ Jimi Hendrix

The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it’s the player on the field who are truly alive.” ~ Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception

                                        “While someone can attempt to shame you, shame must also be accepted to be effective. We can’t make you feel shame without your participation.” ~ Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception
