God and Me:)

"God utters me like a word containing a partial thought of himself. A word will never be able to comprehend the voice that utters it. But if I am true to the concept God utters in me, if I am true to the thought in him I was meant to embody, I shall be full of his actuality and find him everywhere in myself, and find myself nowhere. I shall be lost in him."
Thomas Merton in Seeds of Contemplation

Today

"To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set our own
conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them" Emerson

Beauty and Size

So right now, I love Aristotle!

“Beauty implies a good-sized body, and little people may be neat and well-proportioned, but cannot be beautiful.”

-Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics.

I don't know if they 'cannot', but nevertheless, I'm encouraged by his sentiment;)

Be Yourself...intensely yourself!

"Eventually I discovered for myself the utterly simple prescription for creativity: be intensely yourself. Don't try to be outstanding; don't try to be a success; just please yourself." - Ralph Steiner

Now LIVE on my craftroom wall:)

"What other people think of you is none of your business." Alan Scott (Pastor, Causeway Coast Vineyard)

I never really thought of it that way, but what he says it true!

Dance!

"Dance for yourself, if someone understands good. If not then no matter, go right on doing what you love." -Lois Hurst
