Seated beneath a large willow tree watching it's leafy fingertips lightly brushing the surface of a small pond, I had a compelling desire to become her student. Silently I implored "Please teach me to be unaffected by life's storms through wisely yielding to their tubulance. Show me dear sister how to conquer the hard attitudes of some people by softening my own.
Help me stop resisting philosophies and opinions that I find righteous and intolerable and, instead, shine light and impersonal love upon their bearers. Help me dance with the winds of Spirit and not stiffen in my own beliefs of how things should be evolving.

Meditations for a Thirsty Soul
Sue Patton Thoele
THE SECRET OF LIVING
Make each day a magnificent adventure. Accept the challenges that come your way. Seize each opportunity that you find without concern for what others might say.
Experience each day with open arms, savoring both victory and strife, welcoming the good and the bad together.
For only then will you know the joy of life.
A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we are pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we are safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we are two balloons and our direction is up, chances are we have found the right person. Our soulmate is the one that makes life come to life.
Richard Bach
