Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.

It is one thing to lose people you love. It is another to lose yourself. That is a greater loss.

If one holds back from life’s joys for fear of their ending, one will miss out on the best parts of life.

Every moment is a gift, but when the moment passes, the gift is not gone. The real gift is the life and spirit within another. That life is everywhere around us. It gets concentrated in a certain place and we call that a ‘loved one’. But if the ‘loved one’ has to journey somewhere, we haven’t lost the gift of love or life. It swirls around and shows itself to us in a million ways.

You have loved me and so I leave part of myself here with you.

You see the separation of life as very arbitrary at this time. You are not alone in this assumption. You have far more connection than you are even vaguely aware of. You will not lose the love that is yours.

Every wonderful quality "in" someone is waiting to be recognized in all of life's great symphony.

More than nakedness,for there is no cover to take.The fire in your eyesis ringed with water; wide and cool.We are far from the brutal place,but you do not think so.You take my hand and disappear like you were never there, except that I am now somewhere else.

We have already said more goodbyes than are necessary. Those were goodbyes that brought about the end of partings. We taught each other that no parting is possible.
