Good Demeter mothering keeps a child in the heat and passion of life which immortalize and establish soulfulness. Mothering involves not only physical survival and achievement—Demeter's grain and fruit—it is also concerned with guiding a child to his or her unknown depths and the mystery of fate.

Finding the right work is like discovering your own soul in the world.

The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

From plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their odour to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.

A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady.

Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.

Like ships that have gone down at sea, when heaven was all tranquillity.
