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.

Belief

"A belief is like a pair of sunglasses.  When we wear a belief and look at life through it, it is difficult to convince ourselves that what we see is not what is real.   Knowing that what is real requires that we remember that we are wearing sunglasses and take them off.   One of the great moments in life is the moment we recognize we have them on in the first place.   Freedom is very close to us then.   It is a moment of great power."  Rachel Naomi Remen
