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.

Peacemaking

“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds--our own prejudices, fears and ignorance...To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women.” --Thich Nhat Hanh

Nonbelieving Intelligence

"Only in non-believeing intelligence can truth appear.   When you already believe, you don't allow truth any space to come to you.   Your prejudice is already enthroned.   You cannot see something that goes beyond your belief."   Osho

Diversity

"If humankind could only let it's fear and prejudice go, it would gradually learn the inestimable riches and nourishment that diversity brings."   John O' Donahue
