Dreams, a hundred thousand miles away, where
the stars dance & play, but close to the Heart. Home, not a
space or time, but where the soul grew beyond the mind
to reach and touch ... the Stars. - bk

 

Dr. Albert Einstein:

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the
mysterious, the source of all true art and science. People who
believe in physics know that the distinction between past,
present, and future is only a persistent illusion.

 

A human being is a part of a whole, limited
in time and space experiencing his thoughts as something
separated from the rest - a kind of delusion or prison. Our task
must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of beauty in nature.

 

For not everything that can be counted counts, and
not everything that counts can be counted."

Henry Fosdick, Professor & Clergyman

"I would rather live in a world surrounded by
mystery than a world so small my mind could comprehend."

Whitney Young

"The truth is that there is nothing noble in
being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility
is in being superior to your former self."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."

 

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

 

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

 

"Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."

Carl Jung, psychoanalyst

"The truly spiritual person is a free thinker who demands
experience of God rather than mere faith."

Bell Hooks

The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom ...

Jesus

When the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom
of Heaven would arrive he replied: "A man cannot say lo it is
here or lo it is there, for the kingdom of God is within you."

- For the truth shall be written in your heart to set you free.

Hugh Prather

True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or
mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and
cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding
that we are all in this together.

John Ruskin

"The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets
for it but what he becomes by it."

Nelson Mandela

"It is a courage born of the yearning for freedom;
of hatred of oppression, injustice and inequity whether the
victim be oneself or another; a fortitude that draws its strength from the conviction that no person can be free while others are unfree."

- Speaking of Helen Suzman, an activist against the fascism in South Africa.

Victor Hugo

"There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world,
and that is an idea whose time has come."

Forgiveness is remembering without bitterness ...

 

Love overcomes fear, the final conclusion and the gateway to Heaven.

 

Perhaps the primary reason for being in this world is to learn
valuable lessons rather achieve what would seem just.

 

There are but two questions in life that need be answered:
What is worth living for and what is worth dying for.
- The answer to both is: Love.

It takes even a greater sense of justice for the unoppressed
to stand up for the oppressed.
