The Light of Angels

Image by Narasimhan Ramasamhi

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
Arundhati Roy — The Cost of Living

“At Christmas, time deepens…the Celtic imagination knew that time is eternity in disguise. They embraced the day as a sacred space. Christmas reminds us to glory in the simplicity and wonder of one day.

We have been given such immense possibilities. We desperately need to make clearances in our entangled lives, everyday, to let our souls breathe.

We must take care of ourselves and especially of our suffering brothers and sisters.”

~JOHN O’DONOHUE

Just the fact that you’re a bright light helps to uplift this planet. The planet needs you here longer. It needs you to nourish yourself so that you can be here. It’s important that you take care of yourself because we need you. — Anita Moorjani
