I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Acceptance

"The problem arose not because of the fact, but because you couldn't accept it in the way it was happening.  You wanted it to follow your idea.   Remember, life is not going to follow you - you have to follow life.   Grudgingly or happily, that's your choice.   If you follow grudgingly you will be in suffering.   If you follow happily you become a buddha, you life becomes an ecstasy."
