Quotes by Helen S. Rosenau
Helen S. Rosenau's insights on:
Karma Road: Your Jewish Fairy Godmother's first commandment is: Ask for what you want. But the hidden one is commandment zero, Figure out what you want so you can ask for it. This can be used for Jews too.
Russian Dolls: I imagine a hurricane lamp: our holy beings struggling to see out through the soot and detritus of life.
Artisanal You: I hope you've found your favorite ways to be, whether that's gardening or teaching, kayaking or governing. I hope you're on a road that matters to you, and that you feel like you're getting somewhere.
Karma Road: What joins us on this road is a thread of grace, that interweaving of joys and pain as we struggle and are wounded, heal and try again. We are connected by the tears and laughter we share, and the knowing we feel as we witness one another, each in our uniquely fallible way, trying to navigate the messy lessons life imposes.
Run With Me: Someday I hope, whatever your It is, you'll decide to shift your patterns. That you¹'l take your boat of self beyond the sight of land, with all the risk and danger that implies. Towards where the map warns of monsters. Tothe unknown edge and past it.
Artisanal You: Create a menu from a planet of possibilities, not just the happy meal you ate when you were five. We need the whole range to become our whole selves.
Ouch: Buddhism teaches: Humans suffer from the stories we tell ourselves. Those stories can engage us, comfort us, frighten us, motivate us, and keep us from change. They are worth unpacking and paying attention to.
Mapmaking: We get chances to make things different. But to take them we have to be willing to release old crap, not look back to see if it still needs us or to admit we still need it.
Light and Shadow: Acknowledging at the outset that we're each a little pure makes the worldfeel friendlier, it's hopeful as well as polite.
In the universe of souls our connections are clear and bright. In our human-hood they can get tangled and messy.
