    "Take back your sovereignty. Bathe friend and stranger alike in the radiance of your heart. Stay centered in the boundless simplicity of your core, and don't let your mind be infected with the negative energy of warring parties.

Krishnamurti "Above all things, love silence. Out of your silence will arise something that draws you into deeper silence. If you practice this, inexpressible light will dawn upon you." ~St. Hesychius of Jerusalem " If I create from the heart,  nearly everything works;  if from the head,  almost nothing."  ~Marc Chagall "The soul's ability  to nourish itself  lies in the heart."  ~Aristotle "Exhalation goes out,  inhalation comes in.  At the stillpoint where  they merge,  one enters the space  from which Creation comes forth  and into which it is absorbed.
