"We can learn to trust ourselves by inquiring within. To practice doing this, sit quietly, close your eyes, and for a minute focus your attention on your breathing. Gently visualize your inner wisdom as a graceful butterfly. Admire her beauty, and encourage your butterfly to sit on your shoulder and whisper her wisdom in your ear. Be still and listen."

-- Sue Thoele

No sir; I can make no hand of it; I canâ€™t describe him. And itâ€™s not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.”
“To fight the violence we must be brave, hold on strong to the love God gave.”
“Back of every mistaken venture and defeat is the laughter of wisdom, if you listen.”
“The truth is that I feel totally helpless, or totally inconsolable, to be more honest. Iâ€™m not trying to hide it, but itâ€™s something youâ€™re not to worry about.”
“How much of your life can you account for? My life is a collage of unaccounted for brush strokes; I am all randomâ€.”
