We draw into our life those who will help us to grow. Naturally, we tend to have mixed feelings about those very people, but they are marked for us. We have forgotten that we wrote them an invitation some time ago. We look at them as if they are intruders when all along they are our guests.

We have already said more goodbyes than are necessary. Those were goodbyes that brought about the end of partings. We taught each other that no parting is possible.

We love with all our heart, but we also keep our heart light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. Furthermore, it waits on life to give instructions. Furthermore, it sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. Furthermore, it stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. Furthermore, it lets go when endings have left their irrefutable mark. Furthermore, it moves. Furthermore, it heals. Furthermore, it hopes.

We love with all our heart, in every way that we can love, but the heart is not burdened. We learn to keep it light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. Furthermore, it waits on Life to give instructions. Furthermore, it sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. Furthermore, it stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. Furthermore, it lets go when death and seeming endings have left their irrefutable mark. Furthermore, it moves. Furthermore, it heals. Furthermore, it hopes. Furthermore, it allows Life to be lived in the safe, fertile, and still inner space where it grows stronger and more compelling every day.

We may talk lightly but never carelessly. We keep at bay the flow of common, ignorant thought which runs its damaging course through the pathways of ordinary human conversation.

Whenever possible, choose peace.

When there is no tension between the inner banners and that which is being expressed, there is grace.

When we maintain a conscious connection with Gratitude, our presence will naturally radiate a certain beauty and undisturbed, inner tranquility. Such individuals glow. All such individuals look beautiful and seem irresistible to those who value goodness. They have an attractor field of loveliness which, likewise, tends to bring out the beauty in other people.

Wise individuals frequently say very little, but what they do say hits the mark. Such remarks often remain in the mind of the recipient for a long time, possibly a lifetime.

You can turn every ugly and damaging drama into a genuine blessing by seeing it differently. No one is suffering on purpose. We learn to give up the pleasure we feel in self-righteously blaming others. Healing happens when we see things differently. The question is: do you want suffering or peace? It's that simple.
