It’s the rhythm of life itself calling to each of us with gentle insistence.

When we protect ourselves so we won’t feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of the heart.

When I lose my way and need to be reminded of what joy feels like, what it looks like, I turn to the animals. For me, no greater embodiments of unfettered joy exist.

Joy can be a barometer for how fully we are living our lives.
Susan Chernak

Deepak Chopra
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
