Sometimes it seems like freedom is blowing with the winds of the day, but that kind of freedom is really an illusion. It turns your boat in circles. Freedom is sailing toward your dreams.” WayKindSometimesDreamSeemsTurnsStarsWindIllusionBlowFollowingCirclesBoatYour DreamsSailingTrue FreedomNorth Star Book:Reviving Ophelia Source: Reviving Ophelia

“Prayer is vastly superior to worry. With worry, we are helpless; with prayer, we are interceding. When I hear sad news, I try to say a prayer for the victims. When I am troubled, I will say a prayer that asks for relief for myself and for all those who suffer as I do. When I am concerned about my relatives or friends I say a short prayer to myself - "May they be happy and free of suffering."” TryingMaySufferingAsksPeacePrayerWorryNewsConcernedVictimSuperiorsReliefHelplessShort Prayer Author:Mary Pipher
