Beautiful people do not just happen

I am an artist because the knot is so powerful I just can not, nor want to be, anything else or do anything else.

Old age is not synonymous with being 'glad to die.

Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You're not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you're at peace with yourself. Learning life's lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.

There are no mistakes, no coincidences; all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles...only by a spiritual journey...by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home. The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

We all have to go through the tumbler a few times before we can emerge as a crystal.
