Be calm and strong and patient. Meet failure and disappointment with courage. Rise superior to the trials of life, and never give in to hopelessness or despair. In danger, in adversity, cling to your principles and ideals.
Then said Almitra, “Speak to us of Love.”
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them.
And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, I am in the heart of God.”
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
High fragrance products like perfumes, lotions, and other scented personal care items can be harmful to certain individuals, depending on the nature of the ingredients used and the sensitivity of the person using or exposed to them. Here are some of the potential risks associated with high fragrance products:
It’s important to note that not all fragranced products will cause harm to every individual. The impact largely depends on the specific ingredients used, the concentration of the fragrance, and the individual’s sensitivity. People concerned about the potential effects of fragranced products may choose to use fragrance-free or naturally scented products and should review ingredient lists to avoid known irritants or allergens. If you experience adverse reactions to any product, it’s advisable to stop using it and consult a healthcare provider.
Joe: “I was on an all almond diet, but stopped.”
Pete: “Why did you stop?”
Joe: “Because it was just nuts.”
In Episode 53 of my podcast, Journey from Grief to Healing, I write a love letter to Babe as if she will be able to read it tonight. I pour our my feelings for her. It was emotionally difficult to do this, however, it was a giant step toward healing. I am finding that releasing my feelings by expressing them in written word has proven to be therapeutic for me, even if the letters produced a catharsis. Grieving will not have the last word with me.

NOTE: I don’t know about you, but I was born on Spring Street, not Easy Street. I believe that is the way it is for most people. Using my street as a metaphor, if one wants to move off Spring Street it will take a dream, a big dream. The dream only remains a dream until we agree to enter the struggle and fight for the dream. It’s not easy, there are hundreds of times we are tested to see if we are worthy of claiming the dream. If we’re steadfast, disciplined, and endure the struggle, Spring Street becomes the launching pad and the source of strength not allowing us to quit.
