Shelter

Still

We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.

William Butler Yeats

Nestled

Enrich

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Woodrow Wilson

Radiant

Set

One comes to be of just such stuff as that on which the mind is set.

Upanishads

Desolate

In this parched place of desolate wilderness,
This war-torn, hate-split world, oh, who will bless
Bless and redeem the blood-stained, tear-drenched ground
So once again the healing sun will blaze,
The small birds sing, the flowers be found,
And lion and lamb in loving joy may graze?

Who is there left the truth of love to guess?
How shall we stand the violence of the sun?
How hate redeem, how brother’s love confess?
What will be left when wind and fire are done?
Only on love’s terrible other side
Is found the place where lion and lamb abide.

Madeleine L'Engle

Who?

Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be.

Greatness

A great man is one who has not lost his child's heart.

Impossible

Standing at that impossible junction, we can make a radical choice. We can learn to fly.
