Stillness must be present
Before Silence can be possible.

Maya Angelou

"Let nothing dim the light that shines from within."

Ann Lamott

Lighthouses don't go running all over an island 
looking for boats to save,
They just stand there shining.

Inner peace must be present
before outer peace can be possible.

Clare of Assissi

We become what we love 
And who we love shapes what we become.

Kobayashi isa

In a world of grief and pain
Flowers bloom even there.
