Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

"The first to apologize is the bravest, the first to forgive

is the strongest, and the first to forget is the happiest."

So long as one is drawn to the pleasure of the senses, it cannot be said that their spiritual life has begun. - Baba

"Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to

rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along."

May the forgiving spirit of Him

to whom we dedicate this season

prevail again on earth.

May hunger disappear

and terrorists cease

their senseless acts.

May people live in freedom,

worshiping as they see fit,

loving others.

May the sanctity of the home

be ever preserved.

May peace, everlasting peace,

reign supreme.

aintain the balance of responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart.
