Heavenly Flowers

Peace by persuasion

has a pleasant sound,

but I think

we should not be able to work it.

We should have to tame

the human race first,

and history seems to show that

that cannot be done.

Mark Twain

By cultivating the beautiful

we scatter the seeds

of heavenly flowers,

as by doing good

we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Robert A. Heinlein

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
