The Gift of Time

The gift of time So gently it passes us Like a breeze It carries us through the burden of youth Yet we barely hear the rush of the wind in our hair Then ever so swiftly It weighs us Like excess baggage on our journey And we fear the reality of passing years Creeping Stealing Sneaking up behind Like a childish game that no one dares to play Anymore Still, the gift sits on our doorstep Its presence felt but never acknowledged To the full It sits, unrecognized for all it holds The gift Stares us in the eyes The gift There for the taking Should we Could we Dare we? Take it in both hands, rip and tear at its disguise Revealing the beauty there within All the while ours All these years silent Now open and revealed like a wound in the sunshine Healing Raw Shrinking Ours The gift of time, always ours Beholden, I grasp it Wanting it so badly, for all it can offer For just a moment Just one more moment Please don't steal it I am so grateful This gift is mine… …the gift of time Author: Nicole...

Don't Quit

Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit ...

Calmness of Mind

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought. A person becomes calm in the measure that one understands themselves as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as one develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, one ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene. The calm person, having learned how to govern themselves, knows how to adapt themselves to others; and they, in turn, reverence their spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of them and rely upon them. The more tranquil a person becomes, the greater is their success, their influence, their power for good. Even the ordinary tr...

Living and Being in The Present

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking, "My name is 'I am'". I waited. God continued, "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not 'I was.' When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not 'I will be.' When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is 'I am.' -- As seen on the kitchen wall of Saint Benedict's Monastery.
