If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: 'I'm cheap!' ↗

Today, there are more opportunities for writers in terms of access to larger success, but it's more difficult to publish a literary novel in the lower ranges. In other words, you almost have to hit a home run. You can hit a triple, maybe, but nobody's interested in a single. ↗

My dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids' parties. ↗

She was grieving the loss of her youth, the closing down of possibilities as life became what it was rather than what it might have been. ↗

It had not seemed difficult, on a small income, to know what was right to do....Now, with so much, it was daily a decision: what was necessary, what was frivolous...It was so much gray--so little black and white; for a year she'd spent more of her time questioning herself and how she lived in Truth than she had done altogether in her life. ↗

You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. ↗

I have lost my smile, but don't worry. The dandelion has it. ↗

Meditation expands our inner being. The inner being is like a small, individual river flowering towards the Ocean. In meditation, I feel how my inner being expands into an inner ocean, which is part of everything, which is one with Existence. Through the inner being, we come in contact with the inner ocean, the undefined and boundless within ourselves, where we are one with life. We realize that God is part of life. We realize that God is not a person, but the consciousness that is part of everything. We find God in a flower, in a tree, in the eyes of a child or in a playful dog. Through discovering our inner being, we discover that we are also part of the flower, the child or the dog. We realize that God is everywhere. ↗
