This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
 
Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
 
You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won’t [...]

Centuries ago in a woods so deep,
Through the cool grass there wandered a sheep,
Who started a trail as he moved along,
A winding trail in the brush long gone.
 
By now two hundred years are through,
And the sheep has died, as all sheep do:
But he left behind this trail he trod,
As he mashed the [...]

Go inside and open the gate
To confusion or resourceful state
Notice just what comes to you
In black and white or coloured hue
Up above or down below
Dimly dull or all aglow
Pulsing, moving, still, or slide?
Maybe distant or close beside
Panoramic and 3D
Small and flat and hard to see
Framed in black or fuzzy [...]

When you change your thinking,
You change your beliefs.
When you change your beliefs,
You change your expectations.
When you change your expectations,
You change your attitudes.
When you change your attitudes,
You change your behaviours.
When you change your behaviours,
You change your performance.
When you change your performance,
You change your life.

Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the “flu”
When someone smiled at me today
I started smiling too.
I walked around the corner
And someone saw me grin
When he smiled — I realised —
I’d passed it on to him.
I thought about the smile
And realised its worth:
A single smile like mine
Could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile [...]

May you see beauty and wonder
Most everywhere you look
May you find the peace
In the healing power of gratitude
May you be surrounded by those you love
And the beautiful memories of those you have lost
And most of all
May you be filled with health and happiness

by Virginia Satir
I can’t light your light
I can only light mine
So that I can illuminate
For you to see
To light your own light.

I had a dream…
Between the end of the night and the beginning of the day,
On the warm and smooth movement of the awakening…
Right before my eyes a landscape,
Fertile ground,
Beautiful, spaciousness, infinite…
It was like starting seeing, for the very first time,
Tears dropping from my eyes like a balm for my young soul…
I [...]

In reality the world is ever recreated in you and by you. See everything as emanating from the light which is the source of your own being. You will find that in that light there is love and infinite energy.

Life, the beautiful creation of a hand, so just and true,
A hand which offers us the chance to become creators too.
Whatever you choose to do in life, be sure that you do it well,
Add beauty, colour and elegance, to create a magical spell.
One which costs a mystical power, turning night-time into day
One [...]
