Live Fully

"What is now proved was once only imagined." ~William Blake

The sun is rising, a new day is dawning, and all is wonderful. Your pink optimism dispels the darkness.
Your golden enthusiasm invites the sky to display its vast spaciousness where anything is possible.
With such a spectacular start it's going to be a beautiful day.

About a century ago
Writing to the political and religious leaders of his own day, Bahá'u'lláh said that new capacities of incalculable power--beyond the conception of the generation then living--were awakening in the earth's peoples, capacities which would soon transform the material life of the planet. It was essential, he said, to make of these coming material advances vehicles for moral and social development. If nationalistic and sectarian conflicts prevented this from happening, then material progress would produce not only benefits, but unimagined evils. Some of Bahá'u'lláh's warnings awaken grim echoes in our own age: "Strange and astonishing things exist in the earth", he cautioned. "These things are capable of changing the whole atmosphere of the earth and their contamination would prove lethal."

"Man did not create the web of life, he is but a strand in it.
Whatever man does to the web, he does to himself." ~Black Elk, Oglala Sioux

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." ~Sir Isaac Newton

."To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart. And to sing it to them when they have forgotten." ~ Anonymous

Enjoy the weekend, enjoy the sun while we can still feel the heat and be kind to each otehr.

"Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more,
think less, and stop watching ourselves live." ~Nicolas de Chamfort

Being gentle isn't being weak but a power that doesn't force or disturb.
Gentleness comes from the heart and requires awareness and sensitivity. If being gentle doesn't come easy to you, start by being gentle with yourself first.
