Love the earth and sun and animals.

Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks.

Devote your income and labor to others.

Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul;

and your very flesh shall be a great poem.

~Walt Whitman

finishing the business of losing hope…

inquiry for today~ may the day begin and end with hope…

all shall be well…

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust.

You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.

You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.

You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

~Rumi
