Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow

Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body, Yet no man hath ever seen a soul.

Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the west can you rise in the east.

We often need to be refreshed.

It is Love that gives joy to happiness.

Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind - Now that’s a blessing.
