As we allow ourselves to realize we are wounded, to be aware of the
pain and go deeper and deeper to its source, we reach deep into the
well of our being to release old hurts, old poisons. That’s why we
embrace  pain. It’s not because we love the fact that it hurts.
Nobody  likes to hurt. But we choose to embrace pain because it’s
a piercing, an opening of a wound that allows the hurtful poison to be
released. Then we can let it heal.
– Marilyn C. Barrick

Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.

The essence of all religions is love, compassion, and tolerance.
Kindness is my true religion. The clear proof of a person’s love of God
is if that person genuinely shows love to fellow human beings.

What looks like a loss may be the very event which is subsequently
