I have been lucky to have an interesting life that included sorrows and disappointments.  Today, I am happy and peaceful through my  Buddhist path.  My  aim is to be a better listener, and to give back to the community.   I am a brain injury survivor and appreciate every moment of my life. I love poetry and quotes.  Here is one  of my favourite quotes:

'Before you speak, ask yourself:
is it kind,  is it necessary,  is it true,
does it improve on the silence?”

“Shirdi Sai Baba - Indian Saint

I LOVE QUOTES - tiny gems of wisdom - here are several of my favourites:

Be here now.  Be someplace else later.
 Is that so complicated?”

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~~~Ralph Waldo Emerson, (attributed)
US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882)

“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
~Bible~

“As I am, so are others;
as others are, so am I.”
Having thus identified self and others,
harm no one nor have them harmed.
