giving feminist insanity
Even though I had a good income from my lectures, no one would give me a loan. The insanity almost drove me to sympathize with the feminist movement.
death facts accepting
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
spiritual joining-in voice
It is my conviction that it is the intuitive, spiritual aspects of us humans-the inner voice-that gives us the 'knowing,' the peace, and the direction to go through the windstorms of life, not shattered but whole, joining in love and understanding.
thinking body accepting
I think that as you evolve spiritually, automatically your body tells you what is acceptable for your body and what is not.
death taught graduates
Death is a graduation. When we're taught all the things we came to teach, learned all the things we came to learn, then we're allowed to graduate.
problem no-problem
There is no problem that is not actually a gift.
inspirational inspirational-life finding-peace
We cannot find peace if we are afraid of the windstorms of life.
love-you heart passion
There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit, and supplies passion to our lives.
people forever denial
It is the denial of death that is partially responsible for people living empty, purposeless lives; for when you live as if you'll live forever, it becomes too easy to postpone the things you know that you must do.
life death nature
Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
how-to-love lessons learning-how-to-love
The ultimate lesson is learning how to love and be loved unconditionally
believe angel life-and-death
I believe every person has a guardian spirit or angel. They assist us in the transition between life and death and they also help us pick our parents before we are born.
acceptance self understanding
What is important is to realize that whether we understand fully who we are or what will happen when we die, it's our purpose to grow as human beings, to look within ourselves, to find and build upon that source of peace and understanding and strength that is our individual self. And then to reach out to others with love and acceptance and patient guidance in the hope of what we may become together.
grief loss want
If you truly want to grow as a person and learn, you should realize that the universe has enrolled you in the graduate program of life, called loss.
