It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when death and seeming endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes. It allows Life to be lived in the safe, fertile, and still inner space where it grows stronger and more compelling every day. — Donna Goddard

It cannot fail. It is all consuming. It is incomparable. It is the love affair with our own true nature and the source from which it comes.

We wrestle with each interest, trying to make it work, growing with each adventure until the light has grown bright enough for us to reach for it. — Donna Goddard

Life is not a competition. No one has to lose for someone else to win. A true blessing blesses everyone.
