Great teachers often come to us in humble packaging. That little dog held the wisdom of a sage in his heart. I learned from him that healing is not about the success or failure of the physical body, that physical survival is secondary. All creatures wish to live and thrive, but bodies do wear out. The number of days we walk the earth (or fly or swim or crawl on it) is not the point. Animals live in the present moment. If kindness, caring, and respect fill that moment, life is full, no matter what came before or what might come in the future. A soul that feels loved is joyous and healed ..~ Linda Bender ~
When setting a boundary, you don't need a smooth over the tension.
You don't need to protect people from feeling uncomfortable.
It makes sense for people to fee bad and weird when they have crossed a line. - Jordan Pickell
A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. - Steve Maraboli

Your value is the product of your thoughts. Do not miscalculate your self-worth multiplying your insecurities. - Dodinksy

Long long time ago...

Happy birthday, David.
never be ashamed of how deeply and passionately you loved someone who destroyed you, because destroying things is just who they are. But loving things deeply and passionately is who you are. - butterflies rising.

(轉,朋友的朋友所寫)
“勇武派。
其實只有勇。沒有武。
別說槍械
輕易制造的燃燒彈也沒有
隨街買到刀具也沒有
最新升級,是那些木板,滑板
每次拿著水樽雨傘安全帽
企在最前的這些傻人
受傷最多的,拘捕最多的。

作為成年人,也許笑笑他們傻了
一次,兩次,三次,每星期都這樣
他們真的傻了嗎?
在這個核彈也可以上網找資料制造方法的年代
他們真的不懂嗎?

政治,他們認得的立法局議員,比你我還多,你這班一整天說他們廢青的人,滿口風花說月,一整天只看TVB 的人,連跟他們談政治的資格都沒有。
公義,當你明目張膽看到警黑勾結,還可視若無睹,對警察過度的暴力,毫不動搖,還要說一句,打得太小,你連作為人的資格都沒有。

你們眼中,只有錢,錢,和錢。
口說愛國愛港,因為揾錢。
口說經濟發展,因為賺錢。
口說和平維穩,因為有錢。

為了錢,你可扭曲公義
為了錢,你可埋沒良知
為了錢,你斷送的年青人的未來

但對不起,我不能。”
As we move through this beautiful and troubled world, may we vow to be a beacon of peace, a fearless carrier of respect and lovingkindness for all life, a teller of truth , a voice for justice, a protector of those who are vulnerable or targeted. May the power of wisdom, integrity and compassion be our guide. - Jack Kornfield
The soul is healed by being with children. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

A child is “a spirit throbbing with its own signature.” - Dr. Shefali Tsabary

My child isn't my easel to paint on. Nor my diamond to polish. My child isn't my trophy to share with the world. Nor my badge of honor. My child isn't an idea, an expectation, or a fantasy. - Dr. Shefali Tsabary

Keep my anger from becoming meanness. Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self- pity. Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking. Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty. Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love. Keep me fiercely kind.

Trauma is person. It does not disappear if it is not validates. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the scream, healing can begin. - Danielle Bernock

Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they'll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean they'll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can tryst the least. - Trent Shalton

If you want to deeply hurt someone's soul beyond the capacity of any words known to man, just wait until they have developed a very personal and strong emotional bond to you. Pretend to love them and be their friend. Then, begin to emotionally abuse them, withdraw from them, devalue them, and discard them like they never existed and you will see a job well done. Inside the Mind of a Maglignant Narcissist

“Emotional pain cannot kill you, but running from it can. Allow. Embrace. Let yourself feel. Let yourself heal.” ~Vironika Tugaleva

You Have to Feel it to Heal It: The Only Way Out is Through
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Keller
Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor - Rumi

You can't skip chapters, that's not how life works. you have to read every line, meet every character. You won't enjoy all of it. Hell, some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don't want to read, you will have moments when you don't want the pages to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don't miss you. - unknown

If I'm wrong, educate me. Don't belittle me. - unknown

Respect your body when it's asking for a break. Respect your mind when it's seeking to est. Honor yourself when you need a moment. -unknown

Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: what dark did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes. - Katherine MacKenett
“What makes us Americans has nothing to do with our skin color or political views, but rather our commitment to a set of ideals enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Trump’s efforts to intimidate those with dissenting views infringes upon the very essence of America.” - Tulsi Gabbard
