“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”

Albert Einstein
 
There is but one temple in the universe, and that is the human body. You touch heaven when you lay your hand on it. (Thomas Carlyle, 1840)

I know that this is true, I'm a massage therapist and I lay my hands on a lot of bodys. In doing so, I sink in and read their stories of their life. I can feel their disappointments, their saddness, their sorrow, happiness and even their pain. I comfort them, hold them release their stress and tension, I feel them down to their soul, and yes, I am touching heaven.

Pablo Picasso:
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.


Helen Keller:
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

Neci, a variation of this should be posted in your pic thread

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough. ~George Moore
 
Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.


Lao-tzu
From Tao Te Ching

"TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. "
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The pride and shame we claim from those." Rumi

Until only the mountain remains." Li Po
