“It’s not too late… the angel said. Even though the world’s a mess… Even though you’re not as young… Even though you’ve made mistakes and have been afraid It’s not too late… And then I saw the world through the angels’ eyes… I saw the colors I could paint The bridges I could build The lives that I could touch The dreams that could still come true And it became very clear to me… That it’s not too late.” ~Ron Atchison

Art by Christian Schloe

It is time to start the journey, we have seen enough of this world, it is time to see another These two gardens may be beautiful, but let us pass beyond them and go to the gardener. Let us kiss the ground and flow like a river towards the ocean. Let us go from this valley of tears. Let us bring the color of blossom to our pale faces. Our hearts shiver like autumn leaves about to fall. In this world of dust, there is no avoiding pain or feeling exiled. Let us become like beautifully colored birds and fly to the sweet land of paradise. Everything is painted with the brush of the invisible one, let us follow the hidden signs and find the painter. It is best to travel with companions, on this perilous journey. We are like rain splashing on a road, let us find our way down the spout. We are like an arched bow with the arrow in place, let us become straight and release the arrow towards the target. Let us begin the journey home. ~ Rumi

“Let It Go ~ Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold: the holding of plans or dreams or expectations – Let it all go. Save your strength to swim with the tide. The choice to fight what is here before you now will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts to flee from the very energy you long for. Let go. Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes through your days whether you received it gently or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders. Take this on faith; the mind may never find the explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward nonetheless. Let go, and the wave’s crest will carry you to unknown shores, beyond your wildest dreams or destinations. Let it all go and find the place of rest and peace, and certain transformation.” ~Danna Faulds

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.
