A teacher cannot give you the truth
The truth is already in you
You only need to open yourself –
body, mind and heart –
so that his or her teachings
will penetrate your own seeds
of understanding and enlightenment
If you let the words enter you,
the soil and the seeds
will do the rest of the work.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
Do what makes you happy,
be with someone who makes you smile,
laugh as much as you breathe
and love as long as you live.
~Unknown
The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for. ~Bob Marley
Treat every person
with kindness and respect,
even those who are rude to you.
Remember that you show compassion
to others not because of who they are
but because of who you are.
~Author: Andrew T. Somers
Spread love everywhere you go.
Let no one ever come to you
without leaving happier.
~Mother Teresa
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. ~Helen Keller
At its most basic, kindness is about caring genuinely for others around you, wanting the best for them, and recognizing in them the same wants, needs, aspirations, and even fears that you have too. Kindness is warm, resilient, patient, trusting, loyal, and grateful. Piero Ferrucci sees kindness as being about “making less effort” because it frees us from getting knotted up in negative attitudes and feelings such as resentment, jealousy, suspicion, and manipulation. Ultimately, kindness is deep caring for all beings.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

Cardamom rainforest in Cambodia
As I walk across the earth,
thousands of things I get to see.
Birds fly high, soaring higher,
and on the flowers I hear the buzz of bees.
The sun at the dawn, rises within the hills.
Mountains covered with snow,
shining like the crown of silver.
And the waves touching the cliffs.
The waterfall flowing down
the green-blue mountains.
Rivers forming a dream delta
before entering the sea.
And while walking on the beach at night,
I feel the cool and sweet smelling breeze.
The slashing sound still feels like
the sound of love and peace.
The moon over the sea,
shining like a ball of gold.
And in every step my eyes hold wonder.
I bend on my knee
to thank the mother earth,
And is the truth.
it’s a great pleasure for me,
to live in this wonderland.

Love is two souls intertwined in such a way you can’t find their meeting place nor can you tear it apart it is one embodiment of pure pleasure & pain, joy & sorrow. ~sms4smile
