One Woman’s Wisdom

All negativity is a cry for more love…Love people for who they are, not for who you want them to be.-Sanaya Roman Spiritual Growth

Imagine how the world might change if we lived by this one principle alone.

Celebrate your humanness. Celebrate your craziness. Celebrate your inadequacies. Celebrate you loneliness. But celebrate you.-Leo Buscaglia, Living, Loving, and Learning

Being human means we live in a world of opposites. At times we will be happy and other times sad. It is part of life. Peace comes when we choose to embrace all of life without asking it to be other than it is. Today celebrate your humanness. Celebrate you.

There is only the dance.-T.S. Eliot

This morning I went to Nia. It was fun to dance. I’m not as young as I used to be, but I still like to move to music. Nia lets me feel that I can dance my prayers while still getting my exercise. I let the divine dance through me.

Man may be asleep, but he must wake in the right way. One necessity is that when he is awake, he will also have the means to profit by his wakefulness. – Idries Shah

Wakefulness to me means being conscious of what we are doing and the choices we are making. Most of us move through life half asleep, doing what we do because of ingrained habits. To be awake means to be aware. When we are aware, most likely we are also awake spiritually. It will be nice when the world starts to value awareness and creativity in its fullest including monetarily.

To pray does not mean to listen to oneself speaking. Prayer involves becoming silent and being silent and waiting until God is heard. -Soren Kierkegaard

There are times when I don’t know quite where to turn. I need time to find my feet on the ground. I need time to align myself to my own inner compass. It is during these times that I pray and listen.
