Never cease to stand like curious

so stop trying.
What you can do is calm yourself.
The storm will pass.

Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Not a career. Not wealth. Not intelligence. Certainly not status.
We have to feel for one another
if we're going to survive with dignity.

I believe one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with the pain.

We are never too poor or too small
to give just a piece of ourselves;
for that is how we were made: tiny pieces of people, places, moments, our mosaic...
Who are we to hold back a small kindness? It just might be someone else's missing piece!

One of the best feelings in the world is knowing someone is happy because of you. To be the reason another soul feels lighter is to touch something holy: love in its simplest form, moving quietly from one heart to another. And in that exchange, without even trying, you become a little happier too.

May you never leave love unsaid.
May your friends feel your care in simple words, warm glances, and unguarded moments.
And may the love you offer return to you when you least expect it,
like light finding its way home.

And I, infinitesimal being,
drunk with the great starry
void, likeness, image of mystery,
I felt myself a pure part of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.

When a great moment knocks on the door of your life, it is often no louder than the beating of your heart, and it is very easy to miss it.
