Melania Trump Wore A ‘Green Screen Dress’ And It Played Out Just As You’d Expect

Education is not something you can finish. - Isaac Asimov

Mike Pence’s Big Lie About Trump and the Coronavirus at the Republican National Convention

“We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent. I desperately wanted mercy for Jimmy Dill and would have done anything to create justice for him, but I couldn’t pretend that his struggle was disconnected from my own. The ways in which I have been hurt—and have hurt others—are different from the ways Jimmy Dill suffered and caused suffering. But our shared brokenness connected us. Paul Farmer, the renowned physician who has spent his life trying to cure the world’s sickest and poorest people, once quoted me something that the writer Thomas Merton said: We are bodies of broken bones. I guess I’d always known but never fully considered that being broken is what makes us human. We all have our reasons. Sometimes we’re fractured by the choices we make; sometimes we’re shattered by things we would never have chosen. But our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing. Our shared vulnerability and imperfection nurtures and sustains our capacity for compassion. We have a choice. We can embrace our humanness, which means embracing our broken natures and the compassion that remains our best hope for healing. Or we can deny our brokenness, forswear compassion, and, as a result, deny our own humanity. I thought of the guards strapping Jimmy Dill to the gurney that very hour. I thought of the people who would cheer his death and see it as some kind of victory. I realized they were broken people, too, even if they would never admit it. So many of us have become afraid and angry. We’ve become so fearful and vengeful that we’ve thrown away children, discarded the disabled, and sanctioned the imprisonment of the sick and the weak—not because they are a threat to public safety or beyond rehabilitation but because we think it makes us seem tough, less broken. I thought of the victims of violent crime and the survivors of murdered loved ones, and how we’ve pressured them to recycle their pain and anguish and give it back to the offenders we prosecute. I thought of the many ways we’ve legalized vengeful and cruel punishments, how we’ve allowed our victimization to justify the victimization of others. We’ve submitted to the harsh instinct to crush those among us whose brokenness is most visible. But simply punishing the broken—walking away from them or hiding them from sight—only ensures that they remain broken and we do, too. There is no wholeness outside of our reciprocal humanity.” ― Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption

Bravery is a curious thing..

There are two forms of courage in this world. One demands that we jump into action with our armor on. The other demands that we strip ourselves bare-nakedand surrender. Bravery is a curious thing. - Jeff Brown, Spiritual Graffiti

It has been my experience that the one that families call the “crazy one” is often the sane one. This is particularly true in very dysfunctional families where ideas of healthy functioning are turned upside down. In these families, members often repress their authentic feelings and turn against anyone who reminds them of their unresolved issues and patterns. As a result, the truth-speakers, the ones who refuse to contain their feelings, those who challenge and humanize the toxic status quo, are often scapegoated and vilified, made to feel crazy by those who lack the courage and insight to see beyond the family's madness. If you have been labeled the 'crazy one', take heart. You are truly not alone. Most great creators and paradigm-shifters were met with fiery resistance by those afraid to grow. Whatever you do, do not allow your voice to fade away in the face of their messaging. Your voice, your vision, your ways of being, live at the heart of your unique soul's journey and are the key to collective transformation. No one has the right to bury them under a bushel of shame. No one! And remember- what is crazy to an unconscious person is often brilliantly sane to one who is awakening. Without you, we are lost. Blessed be the 'crazy' ones! - Jeff Brown, Grounded Spirituality

The greatest defeat is not the end of a relationship, it’s the unwillingness to learn from it. Most love relationships end, yet the opportunities for growth live on. We have been conditioned to believe that endings are failures, but they are not. At this stage of human development, it’s all we can do to manage our own issues, let alone merge happily with another. We still have so much to learn about how to sustain love. The real victory is growing through the experience, clarifying and healing our issues, converting the unresolved material into the transformation at its heart. Relational success is not a tangible outcome- it's a process of awakening. If the experience grew you, if it prepared you for a more heartfelt and awakened life, it was a true victory. - Jeff Brown

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.” - Stephen King

Wait for someone who loves you differently. One can see the fire in your soul. The child in your laugh and the ocean in your heart. - Jmstorm

Let go of expecting people to be a certain way just because you are. You are a deep soul with a big heart. Not everyone will understand or respect that. Detach yourself from wanting to be understood &flow in your self-love who and what will be in your life will reveal itself. - unknown

One of the greatest gifts you can give someone: Thanking them for being part of your life. -Karen Salmansohn

Tikkun Olam by Leah Klass

Healing the world
the whole world
her round, warm belly
her soft hills and her jagged cliffs
her deep pools and her hot center

Healing and nourishing her babies
responding to their cries
such endless work
for those mamalehs
this bearing witness
to life

Softening,
so that the men might too
more than freeze or melt
might soften themselves
find peace

Healing the wounded
and the suffering
lending a hand
an open palm
joining in a moment of wonder
gifting a wash of hope
breathing in green, lush, moist
breathing out kindness, love

Healing the world
not only my world
not only our world

Healing the whole world
the WHOLE world
the world as one
Tikkun Olam.

We are most alive when we are in love - Rumi

Imagine not being frightened by any feeling. Imagine knowing that nothing will destroy you. That you are beyond any feeling, any state. - Green Roth

It will never matter how many people believe you are capable of great things, if one of those people isn't you. - J. Warren Welch

It is necessary to be on the other side to understand the value of the details of humanity such as a smile, a kind comment, a call for support, compassion and friendship. When they are genuinely given and not only received, it can change someone's life. - unknown


"Choose every day to forgive yourself. You are human, flawed, and most of all, worthy of love." - ALISON MALEE

Build someone up. Put their insecurities to sleep. Remind them they're worthy. Tell them they're magical. Be light in a too often dim world.- unknown

Gonna spend the rest of my life making other people feel less broken. - unknown

Always love people from your heart and not from your mood or needs. - unknown

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. - Christopher Robin to Pooh”

If we don’t heal our individual and collective trauma, it will continue to manifest itself everywhere. That’s what we are seeing everywhere we look. The toxic effects of unresolved trauma. Heal the trauma, or live the drama... - Jeff brown

It will take more than a change of thinking. It will also require a healing of the collective heart. - Jeff Brown

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh

Our life is shaped by our mind, for we become what we think.- Buddha

"If you look for the Dhamma, you will find that it has nothing to do with the forests, the mountains, or the caves – it exists in the heart. The language of the Dhamma isn’t English or Thai or Sanskrit. It has its own language, which is the same for all people – the language of experience. There is a great difference between concepts and direct experience. Whoever puts a finger into a glass of hot water will have the same experience of hot, but it is called by many words in different languages. Similarly, whoever looks deeply into the heart will have the same experience, no matter what his or her nationality or culture or language." -The language of experience by Ajahn Chah
