daily contemplation

"To live is not merely to breathe; it is to act; it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties - of all those parts of ourselves which give us the feeling of existence."

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"Every problem is a gift - without problems we would not grow."

~ Anthony Robbins

"Imagine sitting with a dying person, someone in intractable pain; or maybe you are that person: a person in intense discomfort, a dying person."

~ Joan Halifax
