"There’s no prize for racing through life. Slow down. Feel the breeze. Taste your food. Laugh with someone you love.
Slow doesn’t always ‘win the race,’ but it feels a lot more joy."
In a world that often celebrates speed and constant hustle, it’s i
As we journey through the unpredictable maze of life, we encounter challenges that can shake us to our core, threatening to dim the light within us. In these moments of adversity, it's tempting to withdraw, to let despair cast a shadow over our spir
"Some people talk to you in their free time and some people free their time to talk to you. Know the difference!"
The measure of our connections are not merely in the moments shared, but in the intention behind them.
Some offer conversation as a fleet
We say “later” like it’s a guarantee.
Talk to you later.
I’ll call you later.
We’ll sit, we’ll walk, we’ll catch up… later.
But life doesn’t owe us later.
It moves quietly, without pause or permission.
People drift, time slips, and the moments we pos
Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in "the line" without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while
Sometimes we love
And our hearts are broken
We dream
And our hopes are shattered
We wish
And our desires are unfulfilled
We give freely
And are left empty-handed
And we care for others
And aren’t loved in return
And those who we once most admired and val
Life often feels like a series of unpredictable twists and turns, and in the midst of challenges, it can be hard to see the light ahead. Yet, sometimes, if we pause and look closely, we can catch glimpses of joy peeking through the chaos. Whether

If you want your life to have true value,
bring a gift to the world.
Bring your love, not your fear.
Bring your compassion, not your hatred.
Bring your joy, not your suffering.
Bring your optimism, not your doubt.
Bring your beautiful, already free
Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something...

At a certain age, the light that you live in is inhabited by the shades…I’m very conscious that people dear to me are alive in my imagination…These people are with me. It’s just a stage of your life when the death of people doesn’t banish them out

When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old men that wait to die.
And if you need to cry,
Cry for your brother
Walking the street beside you

Put your arms
Around anyone
And give to them

How You Affect Others Daily
You never know whose life you are affecting, big or small.
As the pace and fullness of modern life serve to isolate us from one another, the contact we do share becomes vastly more significant. We unconscious
I am a human, not a robot. A living person on this part of the world, where springtime is about to come. I am longing for the beautiful early evenings, the return of the songbirds, the cranes. The return of hope and life after pandemic.

A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.
