"LET YOURSELF BECOME LIVING POETRY."

"TO BE YOURSELF IN A WORLD THAT IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MAKE YOU SOMETHING ELSE, IS THE GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT."

"SOMETIMES IT'S THE PEOPLE NO ONE IMAGINES ANYTHING OF, WHO DO THE THINGS NO ONE CAN IMAGINE."

"AND THE DAY CAME WHEN THE RISK IT TOOK TO REMAIN TIGHT INSIDE THE BUD WAS MORE PAINFUL THAN THE RISK IT TOOK TO BLOSSOM."

"YOUR DAY IS WAITING TO BLOOM, YOU JUST HAVE TO WATER IT."

"DO NOT GO WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD, INSTEAD, LEAVE THE PATH AND MAKE YOUR OWN TRAIL."

"DON'T ASK YOURSELF WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS. ASK YOURSELF WHAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE, AND THEN GO DO THAT, BECAUSE WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME ALIVE."

“JOURNEYS BRING POWER AND LOVE BACK INTO YOU. IF YOU CAN'T GO SOMEWHERE, MOVE IN THE PASSAGES OF THE SELF."

“THERE ARE TIMES I SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING AND FEEL I SHOULD DO THAT TOO.

BUT THEN I PAUSE AND SMILE, AND REMEMBER I AM ON A DIFFERENT PATH."

“IN MANY CULTURES, HIGHLY SENSITIVE INTROVERTS ARE IDENTIFIED EARLY AND DESIGNATED AS SHAMANS, MEDICINE PEOPLE, POETS, AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS. WE ARE CONSIDERED ECCENTRIC BUT CRITICAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE GROUP BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO HEAR THINGS OTHERS DON'T HEAR, SEE THINGS OTHERS DON'T SEE AND FEEL THINGS OTHERS DON'T FEEL. THE CULTURE DEPENDS ON THE SENSITIVITY OF A FEW, BECAUSE NOTHING CAN BE HEALED IF IT'S NOT SENSED FIRST."   

“IF WE WANT TO KNOW WHO WE WERE MEANT TO BE BEFORE THE WORLD TOLD US WHO TO BE -- IF WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE WERE MEANT TO GO BEFORE WE WERE PUT IN OUR PLACE -- IF WE WANT TO TASTE FREEDOM INSTEAD OF CONTROL -- THEN WE MUST RELEARN OUR SOUL'S NATIVE TONGUE."   

“THERE IS A SPECIAL KIND OF PERSON IN OUR WORLD WHO FINDS THEMSELVES ISOLATED AND ALONE, ALMOST SINCE BIRTH. THEIR SOLITARY EXISTENCE ISN'T FROM A PREFERENCE OR ANTISOCIAL TEMPERAMENT -- THEY ARE SIMPLY OLD. OLD IN HEART, OLD IN MIND AND OLD IN SOUL. THIS PERSON IS AN OLD SOUL AND FINDS THEIR OUTLOOK ON LIFE TO BE VASTLY DIFFERENT AND MORE MATURED THAN THOSE AROUND THEM."

“THE WILD WOMAN IS ONLY INTIMIDATING TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET FREE. SHE'S A MIRROR OF ALL YOU ARE AND ALL YOU HAVE YET TO BECOME. SHE IS A LIVING INVITATION TO CLAIM YOUR FREEDOM. YOUR WINGS LONG TO LIFT YOU ON THE WIND."

“A WOMAN IN HARMONY WITH HER SPIRIT IS LIKE A RIVER FLOWING. SHE GOES WHERE SHE WILL WITHOUT PRETENSE... AND ARRIVES AT HER DESTINATION, PREPARED TO BE HERSELF AND ONLY HERSELF."

“SOME OF US LONG TO BE ALIVE, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM JUST EXISTING. THE LONGING IN US, WHICH CAN'T BE EXTINGUISHED, IS THE HUMAN DIFFERENCE. IT'S THE THING WE CALL PASSION. IT CAN BE A POWERFUL INSTRUMENT OF RENEWAL."

“AND THEN IT HAPPENS... ONE DAY YOU WAKE UP AND YOU'RE IN THIS PLACE. YOU'RE IN THIS PLACE WHERE EVERYTHING FEELS RIGHT. YOUR HEART IS CALM. YOUR SOUL IS LIT. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE POSITIVE. YOUR VISION IS CLEAR. YOU'RE AT PEACE, AT PEACE WITH WHERE YOU'VE BEEN, AT PEACE WITH WHAT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH AND AT PEACE WITH WHERE YOU'RE HEADED."
