“I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.” WayHeartMadeImportantSometimesPassionVoiceMistakePathFailingMy HeartConsequenceAppreciateChosenPlentyI've LearnedTrustedHeedMy Mistakes Author:Steve Goodier
“Eugene Peterson points out that "the root meaning in Hebrew of salvation is to be broad, to become spacious, to enlarge. It carries the sense of deliverance from an existence that has become compressed, confined and cramped." God wants to set free, to make it possible for us to live open and loving lives with God and our neighbors.

“When we awaken the love for God, that love naturally extends toward every living being. Also, the concept of Krishna and Radha, the masculine and feminine aspect of the one supreme God, was so inclusive that it touched my heart. So when Prabhupada came, I was already following his path. But it was when I saw his compassion, concern and deep wisdom, that I accepted him as my guru and decided to try and assist him. I felt that was where my real home was.” TryingHeartRealHomeCompassionPathMy HeartConcernAcceptedGod LoveFeminineMasculineGuruKrishna Author:Radhanath Swami
“Something I have "authority" on is animal rights. If I were not already so deep into the path I've taken, deep in the woods, I would probably work with animal rights activism because that's really where my heart lies.

“From the bottom of my heart, I wanted to give up; I wanted to give up on living. There was no denying that tomorrow would come, and the day after tomorrow, and so next week, too. I never thought it would be this hard, but I would go on living in the midst of a glomy depression, and that made me feel sick to the depths of my soul. In spite of the tempest raging within me, I walked the night path calmly.” GivingFeelsHeartMadeSoulHardWould BeWantedNightNextPathWeekGoes OnTomorrowMy HeartGiving UpSickDepthBottomRageMy SoulSpiteMidstTempestNext Week Book:Three plays Source: Three plays
“Here is Menard's own intimate forest: 'Now I am traversed by bridle paths, under the seal of sun and shade...I live in great density...Shelter lures me.

“Within my heart a garden grows, wild with violets and fragrant rose. bright daffodils line the narrow path, my footsteps silent as i pass. sweet tulips nod their heads in rest; i kneel in prayer to seek gods best. for round my garden a fence stands firm to guard my heart so i can learn who should enter, and who should wait on the other side of my locked gate. i clasp the key around my neck and wonder if the time is yet. if i unlocked the gate today, would you come in? or run away?” IfsShouldHeartI CanRunningTodayGrowsWaitingSidesLinesPrayerWonderPathSweetKeysMy HeartGardenRoseSilentRoundsFirmNecksGatesRunning AwayLockedFenceVioletFootstepsStand FirmDaffodilNarrow Path Author:Robin Jones Gunn
