We are all bodies and souls, bits of earth and bits of sky.
We will be okay, just not today.
Sometimes it is the only way to bear the pain, to leave a place behind.
There is no way to prepare for the loss of innocence.
We are no longer alone. We are part of a world.
We are all made of the same stuff. We are all just passing through.
Sometimes the only way to hold on is to let go.
Love is not made of words, but of actions.
There is a power in knowing that you are not alone.
In the quiet, we hear the world. We hear ourselves.
The earth is always speaking to us. It's just a matter of listening.
Life is not defined by the years we live, but by the love we give.
