“In my own struggles and in my own darkness, I have found bits of gold that have changed me. One of those bits is the realization that we’re all connected, we all matter and that we’re not alone. There’s a whole world of people out here who care and understand.”
“If you’re in your own darkness, I’d like to offer that to you. Sometimes it can feel so black, like there’s no light anywhere. I believe though, that there is light, even when you can’t see it, that the people out here who care and understand are holding candles for you. And that candlelight is what you have to reach to and hold on to sometimes just to make it through.”
“I would like to offer a candle here. I would like to remind you that you matter and that your journey now will take you to your own gold nuggets if you let it. Honor yourself as you travel, and be gentle with yourself.”
~Terri St. Cloud

thankyou that was so nice
beautiful M
Gratitude to you
I could not have needed this more right now. Thank you.
To tell my constant feeling.
Whenever I meet even a ‘foreigner’,
I have always the same feeling:
‘I am meeting another member of the human family’.
This attitude has deepened
My affection and respect for all beings.
May this natural wish be
My small contribution to world peace.
I pray for a more friendly,
More caring, and more understanding
Human family on this planet.
To all who dislike suffering,
Who cherish lasting happiness –
This is my heartfelt appeal.
– Dalai Lama
how beautiful and comforting at such testing times..
thank you for this reminder in hard and dark time.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you! To your light, and all the ways in which you hold it :)
I am in my own darkness right now. Scared that the light at the end of the tunnel may be another train. I have lost faith. I do not want this for me. I am lost and in despair. How can I restore my faith? Am I supposed to have faith regardless of what happens? I trusted the Universe and all the synchronicities and was brutally betrayed. I feel so alone….
