Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

It is my conviction that it is the intuitive, spiritual aspects of us humans-the inner voice-that gives us the 'knowing,' the peace, and the direction to go through the windstorms of life, not shattered but whole, joining in love and understanding.

Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature's way of letting in only as much as we can handle.

Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

There is no problem that is not actually a gift.
