When one door of happiness closes, another opens: but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. – Helen Keller

The Body of Truth is one indivisible body. All beings belong to it and receive their nourishment from it.  All falsehood and deception is a refusal to see and accept the Body of Truth.  You cannot accept the Body of Truth for yourself and deny another's right to it, nor can you deny your right and accept someone else’s. - Paul Ferrini

By saying grace, we release the Divine sparks in our food. - Rabbi Herschel

Fulfilled life is possible in spite of unfulfilled wishes. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you want to get your 76 year old father off the phone just say, "I love you." I think it frightened him. It still frightens me. After 30 years of resenting my family for not saying those 3 words it dawned on me that I could. Without expectation, without resentment … just because. Ten years later he says it to me, my sister says it, and my brother too. The miracle in my life isn't a burning bush, it's my dad, after 86 years, telling me he loves me. - Pseudomonk

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart. - Brother David Steindl-Rast

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. - Albert Camus

My father, brother, sister and I met to celebrate dad's 86th birthday. It was, in my brothers words 'like being a family' again, with both the joy and annoyances. Since our eldest brother died over 30 years ago, and mom over 6, the beauty, poignancy, and love of being with my siblings and father, around that same dinner table we grew up with, was for me, a Last Supper. It was a Last Supper because it spoke of the divinity of love. After all these years our broken family we broke bread, thanked god for our day and our health, and shared one more meal of love and food … together. - pseudomonk

So just be quiet and sit down. The reason is: you are drunk, And this is the edge of the roof. - Rumi

Nothing is a waste of time if you use your experience wisely. - Auguste Rodin
