Someone who doesn't make flowers makes thorns.
If you're not building rooms where wisdom can be openly spoken,
you're building a prison.
~RUMI
From cane reeds, sugar.
From a worm's cocoon, silk.
Be patient if you can, and from sour
grapes will come something sweet.
~RUMI
Stay in the Spiritual FIre
Let it cook you
Be a well-baked loaf,
and lord of the table.
You've been a source of pain,
Now you'll be the delight.
~RUMI
Just some ponderings of some warm words, watching the snow fall and the bird flit from branch to branch in the pines.

It isn't easy to be kind
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I'll be free
I do my best not to complain
My face is dirty from the strain
I only hope one day I'll come clean
lyrics from Let It Rain by Amanda Marshall
Every challenge is a stepping stone to a happier place than you even knew existed.
Oh, the magic!
One day soon you will be exceedingly glad for this very path you now tread
Oh, the magic!
One day soon you will be exceedingly glad for this very path you now tread

So true. What wonderful words of wisdom. I am glad for the path I have chosen. It would have been a horrible life had I not gone down this path to freedom and peace of mind. Love the Emotional pain, when fully felt is exquisite. One would not understand that quote until you have gone thru the despair and the pain. I have and it has been hard but worth each and every feeling I have felt. I am free to be me today.

I love Stay in the Spiritual Fire. I am reminded of Winston Churchill's quote, If you are going thru hell keep going. Staying in the Spiritual Fire is where our character will be tested
