["God is already Here \u2026 (08\/06\/2011) \u201cThe Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. The Tao is infinite, eternal & always present. The Buddha is in the palm of your hand \u2026 In truth, there is no distance between you & God. The distance, indeed all separation, is just a dream.\u201d ~ John Joseph Having Love in your heart opens Heaven\u2019s Gate, \u2026 & every Joy-full act of Caring sails you straight on through. \u201cTo fall, to merge, to die; such passionate language makes us uncomfortable \u2026 We seek comfort in forgetfulness. We shrink from the inevitability of death \u2026 We cannot Love. And yet, vivid moments emerge from the forgetfulness when we least expect them \u2026 Can you remember?\u201d ~ George Leonard It is Love that re-minds us that we are alive, and to remember that Life, we must have the courage to actively engage another \u2026 We must have the humility to remember that Love is everywhere \u2026 And we must have the courage to re-member that Love. 101","Love is fearless tenderness \u2026 (08\/07\/2011) \u201cReal fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.\u201d ~ Chogyam Trungpa \u201cGod asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice \u2026 You must take it. The only question is how.\u201d ~ Henry Ward Beecher \u201cYou live and learn \u2026 \u2026 Well, at any rate, you live.\u201d ~ Douglas Adams To learn to live, we must learn to Love \u2026 To learn to Love, we must choose \u2013 especially in those times when we wish instead to retreat within \u2013 to Care. 102","LOVE a Giving thing \u2026 (08\/08\/2011) \u201cThere are only 4 questions of value in life: What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only Love.\u201d ~ Don Juan \u201cDo you find yourself saying \u2018I can\u2019t take it any longer?\u2019 Well, simply stop taking it. Let it go \u2026 release it \u2026 stop fighting. Behold the Love within your heart \u2026 and start giving it to others.\u201d ~ Sri Gawn Tu Fahr \u201cOz never did give nothin\u2019 to the Tinman that he didn\u2019t already have.\u201d ~ America (\u201cTin Man\u201d) 103","Happiness is a Doing \u2026 (08\/09\/2011) \u201cHappiness is waiting just around the corner. She is patiently tapping her foot. So now \u2026 go to Her.\u201d ~ Ree Ivan \u201cThe way to act compassionately is to exchange yourself for the other. When you can put yourself in someone else\u2019s shoes, then you know what is needed, and what would speak to their heart.\u201d ~ Pema Chodron (Happiness must become a verb for Happiness to Be.) 104"]
