"Treat the other man's faith gently;
it is all he has to believe with.
His mind was created for his own thoughts,
not yours or mine."
~Henry S. Haskins
"Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.
We can love and care for others but we cannot possess
our children, lovers, family or friends. We can assist
them, pray for them, and wish them well; yet in the end
their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts
and actions, not on our wishes."
Jack Kornfield
"The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness, and Peace" 2002
"The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another;
and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is...
to how he vowed to make it...
-John M. Barrie, The Little Minister, 1891
"We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour,
each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts
we allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow
ourselves to feel, and the actions we allow ourselves to perform.
Each choice is made in the context of
whatever value system we've selected to govern our lives.
In selecting that value system, we are, in a very
real way, making the most important choice we will ever make."
~Benjamin Franklin
“Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church,
but they were truly religious men
because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.”
~ Albert Einstein
"It is not the strongest of the species that survive,
nor the most intelligent,
but the most responsive to change."
Charles Darwin, 1853
To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
~Lao-Tzu
"Live in love and do your work; make amends of your sorrows;
for just as the jasmine releases and lets fall its withered flowers,
let fall willfulness and hatred."
The Dhammapada
"Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons
about creating the kind of love we really want."
- Martha Beck

Evening Star
'Twas noontide of summer,
Edgar Allan Poe
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold- too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.

May the Peace of the Creator burn in your Heart. |

Lose yourself ~ Eminem
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd grows so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo...
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's the partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo...
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin' roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between trying to be a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not this may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo...
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You want it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
You can do anything you set your mind to...man..
