The perfume of hope’s rose
Also scents its thorny travails
Inspiration and Spirituality **Award Free**
And the Great Spirit, Gichi Manidoo
Together with the Spirit of the Son
O’er the watery face of Gaia, brood;
Watching each morning’s rising Sun,
Shine its light over the cosmic waters
Like it was, at the dawning of forever.

“We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.”
― Henry Miller
Hope is a staff in the hand of the prophet
Atop Mount Nebo, Moab’s hilly silhouette
Whose lookout is the valley of the promise:
Where a legacy walks from the wilderness,
Baptizes a holy river, and shouts down walls
Where a sea is a salt lake and is dead but lives
Where hope is a staff in the hand of the promise.

“Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you – sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever.”
― Lauren Oliver
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.”
― Deepak Chopra
