“Great love -- the kind that illumines and transforms us -- always includes a keen awareness of limitation as well. Though love may inspire us to expand and develop in new ways, we can never be all things to the one we love, or someone other than who we are. Yet once accepted, limitation also helps us develop essential qualities, such as patience, determination, compassion, and humor. When love comes down to earth -- bringing to light those dark corners we would prefer to ignore, encompassing all the different parts of who we are -- it gains depth and power.” WayWellsKindMayDifferentHelpingLightEarthDarkQualityCompassionAwarenessInspireEssentialsGainsDeterminationAll ThingsDepthCornersAcceptedLimitationWho We AreNew WaysGreat LoveDown To Earth Book:JOURNEY HEART PB Source: JOURNEY HEART PB

“What is real to me is the power of our awareness when we are focused on something beyond ourselves. It is a shaft of light shining in a dark corner. Our ability to shift our perceptions and seek creative alternatives to the conondrums of modernity is in direct proportion to our empathy. Can we imagine, witness, and ultimately feel the suffering of another?” FeelsRealLightSufferingDarkAbilityCreativeImagineAwarenessPerceptionEmpathyDirectShiningCornersFocusedWitnessAlternativesProportionModernity Author:Terry Tempest Williams
“Awareness There is a dark place. A place where I have no eyes, no mouth. No words. I can't cry out because I have no breath. The silence is so deep I want to die. But I can't.

“Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily conquests, because then they would have nothing to lose- for death itself is inevitable.” WayTryingHumansStillsFactsWould BeAbleDiesFearLosesDarkStepsAwarenessCreaturesCertaintyConquerInevitableBest ThingsFragileDaringConquestDo The BestNothing To LoseAwareness Of Death Book:The diary of a magus Source: The diary of a magus
