chasing the dream

Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.

The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back.

I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do.

Be still and know that I am God. Be still. When we are in motion the motion that we are most aware of is our own. When we stop, suddenly we are aware of His motion, of His gentle presence and perfect nearness. And in the stillness we get to know Him as He is. To know God we need not to do more, but less.

Come the blue of night, come now the pink of morning, meet me between them.
