“I have many lovers. Where ever I look, I find them. There is no place devoid of them. They are everywhere: In the enchanting Cottonwood trees, The rivers, the rocky roads, the hills, the mystic trails, The snow capped mountains, The skies, the clouds, the soaring Eagles, The blackness of night, as black as the Raven, The absolute brave Cactus, Listening to me, and the whispers I breathe. Where ever I, look I find them. There is no place devoid of them. My lovers are everywhere. They are everywhere: In the rains, the freezing winds, The sun, the moonlight, The darkness of despair, The days of pain and sorrow, They never leave me, or betray me, Or ever forsake me, Even in my unfaithfulness, They remain mine. Am I blessed, crazy, or blind? However much I dare, Even in those careless moments; they care. Where ever I look, I find them, There is no place devoid of them, My lovers are everywhere. They are everywhere: I close my eye’s, I see them, They appear to me patiently, like some ancient melody, in my waking dreams, they are like wise prophets, twirling in compassionate dances of forgiveness. Allowing me my mistakes of existence, They give me, ‘me’, Reach for my fears, cradle and hold me. They are everywhere. I will regenerate, and shine through their presence. Through their guidance, from their quiet empowerment, I will gather myself, pick up my pride, Understand ‘life’, and remember reality. Finally, when my ‘being’ remains not with me, they will once again redefine, re-collect me, recreate the aura around me, find another place to replant me. They are everywhere. No place is devoid of them. Countless lovers. Their love: Omnipresent. Only if one can ‘see’, These lovers are everywhere .”

“Es war meine Schuld, sagte sie weinend, und das stimmte zweifellos, es stimmte jedoch auch, falls ihr dies ein Trost ist, dass wir uns schon beim ersten Gedanken kaum vom Fleck rühren würden, könnten wir immer alle Folgen unseres Handelns vorraussehen, würden wir ernsthaft darüber nachdenken, zunächst über die unmittelbaren Folgen, dann die möglichen, die wahrscheinlichen, die vorstellbaren. Gute und schlechte Ergebnisse unserer Worte und Werke verteilen sich, vermutlich auf eine recht gleichförmige, ausgeglichene Weise, über alle Tage der Zukunft, eingeschlossen auch jene endlosen, an denen wir schon nicht mehr hier sein werden, um dies zu überprüfen, uns zu beglückwünschen oder zu entschuldigen, übrigens gibt es sogar Menschen, die sagen, eben das sei die Unsterblichkeit, von der soviel geredet wird.”

“Bei Vergebung geht es darum, sich um sich selbst zu kümmern – und nicht etwa um denjenigen, dem man vergeben muss. Es geht darum, das Bedürfnis nach Wohlbefinden vor den Wunsch, recht zu haben, zu stellen. Es geht darum, Verantwortung für das eigene Leben zu übernehmen, statt vorzugeben, es liege in der Hand anderer. Es geht darum, die eigene Macht zu nutzen, indem man Wut, Ablehnung und Schmerz den Laufpass gibt.”

“Bullying: the schoolyard version of a bad sitcom. It's like someone pressing the "stress" button on your mental health remote, but don't worry, we've got the power to change the channel. Let's rewrite the script: bullies become the comic relief, and mental health takes center stage as the hero. We'll bring in some plot twists, like confidence boosts and supportive allies, turning the whole situation into a laugh-out-loud comedy.”
