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.

Soulful Relationships

"The soulful relationship asks to be honored for what it is, not for what we wish it could be.   It has little to do with our intentions, expectations and moral requirements.   It has the potential to lead us into the mysteries that expand our hearts and transform our thoughts, but it can't do that when our primary interest is in pursuing our cherished ideologies of love, family, marriage and community."   Thomas Moore
