daily contemplation

"Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them."

~ Henry Ford

"Whether we are dying, caring, or grieving, if we run from suffering to nowhere or into addiction-- be it hyperactivity, drugs, food, sex shopping, or even sleep-- we will only be driven into deeper confusion, making it all the more difficult to see what's really going on."

~ Joan Halifax

"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."

~ Maya Angelou
