and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Fear of the unknown is
the greatest fear of humankind,
and death the greatest unknown.
Acknowledging these doubts and the fears
is a powerful beginning.
It is liberating to say,
"Yes, I don't know, and yes, I am afraid."
Beyond that, the path to happiness
lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

you forget your separateness:
you are the sunset.

you have come back to your separate,
enclosed entity of the ego.
Now the mind is speaking.
- Osho

provided it isn't the work
he is supposed to be doing at the moment.
- Robert Benchley
The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,
you have missed the target.
Because things are not the target,
you, your innermost being, is the target -
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.
Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.

begin now, today, this moment.

Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The secret of merging with Spirit

but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

a state of uncertainty -
one moment thinking "perhaps"
and the next moment thinking "I don't know" -
will never get desired results.

When we see the face of God
we shall know that we have always known it.

and moved moment by moment within,
all our earthly experiences of innocent love.

Create apart from perfection.

Touch excruciatingly.

Care.
Understand you die a little in every moment.
Be Enlivened

The Eye-of-the-Storm.
Surrounded by the winds and the rain,

a moment of serenity among the challenge -
a time for repose and contemplation.

I freely release all uncertainty, regret, and fear.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
