Whatever happens, stay alive.
Don’t die before you’re dead.
Don’t lose yourself,
Don’t lose hope,
Don’t lose direction.
with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin.
Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, stay alive inside you,
Stay alive also outside,
Fill yourself with colors of the world,
Fill yourself with peace,
Fill yourself with hope.
Stay alive with joy.
There is only one thing
you should not waste in life,
and that’s life itself.
~Virginia Woolf
there is a subtle whisper of hope right here…
inquiry for today~ and the day will remain in view for you to choose…
The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand
and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them.
How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.
If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair.
If I have only gratitude, I’ll become saccharine
and won’t develop much compassion for other people’s suffering.
Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft,
which helps make compassion possible.
