keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

on the part of the recipient.

Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,
but because of a feeling of lack -
a feeling that something is missing.

one's sense of inherent worth.

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.

is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

You are worrying about paying your bills and finding a new job.
Those are worries about tomorrow.

I should not mind a bit.

so that I might share in what I was entitled to share.

I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.

you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.

And, before you can feel unity with,
and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.
