"One will never reach distant shores, if he chooses to remain upon the dock, In fear his little ship of dreams may be dashed against the rocks." ~ Fethullah Gulen Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. HEARTWORK It’s the hard things that break; soft things don’t break. It was an epiphany I had today and I just wonder why it took me so very, very long to see it! You can waste so many years of your life trying to become something hard in order not to break; but it’s the soft things that can’t break! The hard things are the ones that shatter into a million pieces! "Life is black and white, it's up to you to add the color" In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth. "The planet Venus, a circle of silver in a green sky, pierced the edge of the evening while the wintery woods darkened around me and in the stillness the regular sound of my footsteps striking the pavement was like the rhythemic beating of a giant stone heart". ~Gore Vidal Not only for parents, but for ourselves and parenting the child within... " What you knew in your childhood is true; the Otherworld of magic and enchantment is real, sometimes terribly real - and certainly more real than the factual reality which our culture has built up, brick by brick, to shut out colour and light and prevent us from flying."- Author: Patrick Harpur
