THINK before you speak

Ask yourself these questions before speaking.

T is it true?

H Is it helpful?

I is it inspiring?

N is it necessary?

K is it kind?

Think before you speak!

a song a day - She by Elvis Costello

She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she

live in love

Live in lover's life (...)
beautiful in fruits from the soul
/Philippians 1:9-11/

być sobą

Nie trzeba się starać, przebierać, mianować, wyglądać - wystarczy iść do przodu, rozwijać się, szukać, być kimś naturalnym. Byś wędrowcem. I wtedy buty, w których idziemy, okazują się zaczarowane, złote.
/fragment z Bajka to życie albo z jakiej jesteś bajki W.Eichelberger, A.Suchowierska /

delicious ambiguity

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. Gilda Radner

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. /Luke 6:38/

a song a day - Everything by Michael Buble

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

I rejoice

No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead^">
or allow your holy one^"> to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
/Psalm 16: 9-11/

energy of love

God’s power is an energy of love that operates from within, gently. It can transform the harshest realities, even death.

a song a day - I've always loved you by Third Day

I don't know how to explain it
But I know that words will hardly do
Miracles with signs and wonders
Aren't enough for me to prove to you

Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I'll tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will

Greater love has not a man
Than the one who gives his life to prove
That he would do anything
And that's what I'm going to do for you

żródło ...

taken by Jogorman

Źródło

Zatoka lasu zstępuje
w rytmie górskich potoków...
Jeśli chcesz znaleźć źródło,
musisz iść do góry, pod prąd.
Przedzieraj się, szukaj, nie ustępuj,
wiesz, że ono musi tu gdzieś być —
Gdzie jesteś, źródło?... Gdzie jesteś, źródło?!
Cisza...
Strumieniu, leśny strumieniu,
odsłoń mi tajemnicę
swego początku!
(Cisza — dlaczego milczysz?
Jakże starannie ukryłeś tajemnicę twego początku.)
Pozwól mi wargi umoczyć
w źródlanej wodzie
odczuć świeżość,
ożywczą świeżość.

/Tryptyk Rzymski, Jan Paweł II)

Excellence comes about as a result of habit.
We become
just by doing just acts,
temperate by doing temperate acts,
brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle
