“Until we get to the point where we've had enough of things that hurt and long more than anything for a peaceful love, we are bound to take painful roads. We are destined to play out our frivolous disasters until we declare ourselves finished and done with them. How much pain do we have to suffer before we are sure we want no more? As much, it seems, as we have to until we don't.” WantLongDoneEnoughPlaySeemsPainSufferingHurtBoundsPainfulFinishedDisasterPeacefulDestinedHad EnoughFrivolous Author:Marianne Williamson
“I know that I'm very susceptible to getting caught up in storylines like, "I want him to be different. I want him to be more open. I want him to call." We have all of these storylines that kind of take over sometimes, and I think there's real grace and a peaceful heart at the center of just accepting what is, and knowing that everything's OK. The good, the bad, the ugly, the pain, the hurt, the frustration - all of that is valuable and part of this human experience, so we should lean in to all of it.” ThinkingKnowsWantShouldHumansHeartKindDifferentRealSometimesPainHurtAcceptingKnowingGraceCaughtUglyValuablePeacefulFrustrationCaught UpHuman ExperienceWant HimSusceptibleStorylinePeaceful HeartAccepting What Is Author:Sara Bareilles
“Nurture your felt love for nature. Never deny it. That love is the eons, the purifying intelligence, beauty and diversity of nature sustaining us in its perfection.

“Nothing will convince and convict those around us like the peaceful and positive way you and I respond to our twentieth century hurts and distress.

“I think we need to fight against Trumpism in the courts, we need to fight at the ballot box and online, and we need to do peaceful protesting.

“Obviously, there are political operatives that are playing a role. It doesn't mean it shouldn't be denounced. All candidates should say, we want to have - be able to have nonviolent, peaceful speaking events. Do not hurt people, do not hit. Do not break the law, no one is encouraging violence. That's what should be stated very clearly. Denounce any violence that occurs. Be honest to say exactly also, what is behind this. They are trying to elicit and produce a specific response to try to discredit and to paint Donald Trump in a particular light. That is - that's what's happening.” PeopleTryingMeanPoliticalHurtBreakViolenceHonestResponsePaintPeacefulBeing HonestDiscredit Author:Kimberly Guilfoyle
