We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy. We have not come into this exquisite world to hold ourselves hostage from love. Run my dear, From anything That may not strengthen Your precious budding wings, Run like hell, my dear, From anyone likely to put a sharp knife Into the sacred, tender vision Of your beautiful heart. We have a duty to befriend Those aspects of obedience of our house And shout to our reason “Oh please, oh please come out and play.” For we have not come here to take prisoners, Or to confine our wondrous spirits But to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom, and Light! ~Hafiz

Art by Amanda Cass

The World needs people… Who cannot be bought; Whose word is their bond; Who put character above wealth; Who possess opinions and a will; Who are larger than their vocations; Who do not hesitate to take chances; Who do not lose their individuality in a crowd; Who will be as honest in small things as in great things; Who will make no compromise with wrong; Whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires; Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success; Who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular; Who can say “no” with emphasis, although the rest of the world says “yes”. ~Ted w. Engstrom, from Motivation to last a lifetime.
