Back to Rumi - hard to avoid. (Not that I want to.)
"Love is the bridge between you and everything."

Thank you, Deanna! Today is a good day, although, I am a bit frightened to go to the basement and look at the laundry!

"In the end only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."
This is thought-provoking. (But despite it's being listed as said by Buddha, apparently it was not.)

Mona, this is a beautiful quote. And I've found that Buddha did NOT say a lot of the things he's quoted as saying LOL!! I guess people feel it will carry more weight and authority if attributed to a famous spiritual figure.
But truth is truth, and I think it does its own magic.

"The world is changed by examples, not by opinions." - Paulo Coelho
I may have shared this before, but I think it's a really powerful statement.
Our actions always speak louder than words.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I saw a lot on social media about the refugees, and the homeless, and people had really strong opinions. I mean like REALLY strong! Right?
But I had this one friend who prepped a Thanksgiving dinner, and took it to a family in need. What a beautiful act that was. She never expressed any opinions - she just went out and did it. WOW!!
That was powerful.

"Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you." ~ Mother Teresa
Sometimes it's hard to know where to start, especially when it seems there are just so many things that need fixing. We may end up spending too much time thinking about what 'needs' to change, and talking about what should be changed without ever actually taking any action. This makes it simple. We just start with those around us.
