If you have one hour of air and many hours to go,
you must breathe slowly.
If you have one arm’s length and many things to care for,
you must give freely.
If you have one chance to know God and many doubts, you must
set your heart on fire.
We are blessed.
Every day is a chance.
We have two arms
Fear wastes air.
Mark Nepo, Freefall
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change
and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
Helen Keller.

It always has the capacity to amaze and we are always on the way……
To live is to be born slowly
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to;
No illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn’t think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day’s work.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow;
The same God who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and every day.
Either God will shield you from suffering or God will give you strength to bear it
Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and sufferings
St Francis de Sales
