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.

Imperfection

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight... When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Security

"Security is mostly a superstition.  It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.   Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.   Life is a daring adventure or nothing."  Helen Keller
