“I have an extremely difficult time wrapping my head around such a tragic event as the Elementary school massacre in Connecticut and unbelievable sadness for the parents, families and co-workers effected by this tragedy. We are ALL touched by this either directly or indirectly.... May hearts be comforted at such a devastating time. The world is with you.... I know I am.” KnowsWorldHeartMaySchoolParentDifficultSadnessEventsTragedyWorkersTouchedTragicUnbelievableDifficult TimesMassacresElementary SchoolWrappingCo WorkerConnecticutTragic Events Author:Pamela Moore
“The old Indian teaching was that is is wrong to tear loose from its place on the earth anything that may be growing there. It may be cut off, but it should not be uprooted. The trees and the grass have spirits. Whatever one of such growth may be destroyed by some good Indian, his act is done in sadness and with a prayer for forgiveness because of his necessities.” ShouldMayDoneEarthSpiritGrowthPrayerCuttingGrowingTreeSadnessTeachingTearsDestroyedIndianGrassNativeNative AmericanStewardshipNative AmericaNative American IndianGreat Native AmericanNative American Earth Author:Wooden Leg
“By freely choosing to believe God's promises, a person's faith may be more strongly embraced and, therefore, less likely to falter in times of struggle, sadness, or other such difficulties.” BelieveMayPersonsGodChristianFaithReligiousStruggleSadnessPromiseDifficultyBelieve In God Book:To Heaven and Back: A Doctor's Extraordinary Account of Her Death, Heaven, Angels, and Life Again: A True Story Source: To Heaven and Back: A Doctor's Extraordinary Account of Her Death, Heaven, Angels, and Life Again: A True Story
“We, all of us in the First World, have participated in something of a binge, a half century of unbelievable prosperity and ease. We may have had some intuition that it was a binge and the earth couldn't support it, but aside from the easy things (biodegradable detergent, slightly smaller cars) we didn't do much. We didn't turn our lives around to prevent it. Our sadness is almost an aesthetic response - appropriate because we have marred a great, mad, profligate work of art, taken a hammer to the most perfectly proportioned of sculptures.” WorldFirstsMayArtEarthTurnsEasyHalfSupportTakenOur LivesSadnessCenturyCarMadResponseProsperityIntuitionEaseAppropriateWorks Of ArtAestheticConsumerismUnbelievableSculptureHammersOverconsumptionEasy ThingsBingeBiodegradable Author:Bill McKibben
“No one lives on the top of the mountain. It's fine to go there occasionally -for inspiration, for new perspectives. But you have to come down. Life is lived in the valleys. That's where the farms and gardens and orchards are, and where the plowing and the work is done. That's where you apply the visions you may have glimpsed from the peaks.” LifeInspirationalMayDoneInspirationLife IsVisionSadnessInspirational LifePerspectiveFineMountainGardenFarmsValleysOrchardNew PerspectivePlowing Author:Arthur Gordon Webster
