Wisdom for the Journey
Welcome to my Inspiration page. These pieces
of prose came to me as discoveries along the way. They danced their way into my
heart as poetry, song lyrics, quotes, or prayers from fellow travelers on the
Road of Life. Always, I was struck by their beauty, simple truth, and poignancy.
I hope what you discover here inspires and quickens your Soul. Travel Lightly,
fellow traveler! Diana

I
honor the place within You in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place
in You which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace. When you are in that
place in You, I am in that place in Me. We are One. ~

How could our Hearts be large enough for Heaven if they
are not large enough for earth? The only country I am certain
of is the one here below. The only paradise I know is the
one lit by our everyday sun, the land of difficult Love, shot
through with shadow. The place where we learn this Love, ...if
we learn it at all, shimmers behind every new place we inhabit.
~ Scott R. Sanders
Happiness is like a butterfly.The more you chase it, the
more it eludes you.But if you turn your attention to other
things,It comes and sits softly on your shoulder. ~ Henry
David Thoreau
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore,
each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession
of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.~ Corita
Kent
If Nature has made you a Giver, your hands are born open,
and so is your Heart. And though there may be times when your
hands are empty, your Heart is always Full, and you can give
out of that. ~ Frances H. Burnett
The measure of Love you can give in any moment measures your
freedom. The measure of Love you demand or expect measures
your slavery. ~ unknown
In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and
confusion, we are being called upon to reach in & touch
our Hearts. Then, we will know what to do, what to say, how
to be. What is right is always in our deepest Heart of Hearts.
It is from the deepest part of our Hearts that we are capable
of reaching out & touching another human being. It is,
after all, one Heart touching another Heart. ~
R. Sage Hamilton
When tears come, I breathe deeply and rest. I know
I am swimming in a hallowed stream where many have gone before.
I am not alone, crazy, or having a nervous breakdown….
My heart is at work, my Soul is Awake. ~
Mary Margaret Funk
Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of Traveling.~

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will
endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. ~
Og Mandino
I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't
feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no
longer important whether everyone loved me or not —
more important now was for me to Love them. Feeling that way
turns your whole life around; Living becomes the act of Giving.
~ Beverly Sills
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to Create,
to Overcome, to Endure, to Transform, to Love, and to be Greater
than our suffering. ~ Ben Okri

Compassion is not religious
business, it is Human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own
Peace and mental Stability, it is essential for human survival. ~ Dalai
Lama We have flown the air like birds and swim the sea like fishes,
but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the Earth like Brothers. ~
Martin Luther King The greatest thing you can do for another is
not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. ~ Benjamin
Disraeli People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at
the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass
of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves
without wondering. ~ St Augustine
How are you going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been
issued? Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the
illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are
going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are. ~
Anne Lamott You cannot control what happens to you, but you can
control your attitude toward what happens, and in that, you will be mastering
change rather than allowing it to master you. ~ Brian Tracy
Realize
that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace
and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness
in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness
is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
~ Og Mandino We tend to forget that Happiness
doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather
of recognizing and appreciating what we Do have.~ Frederick
