He who has Faith has…
an inward reservoir of courage, hope,
confidence, calmness, and assuring trust
that all will come out well - even though
to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
- B.C. Forbes
To my one true Faith,
My Love, My Heart, My Joy.
I Love You, baby.

The purpose of learning is growth,
and our minds, unlike our bodies,
can continue growing as we continue to live.

Look to this day, For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence;
the bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore to this day, such is the salutation of the dawn.
- The Sufi, 1200 BC
Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor,
play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between
reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually
think about eventually will manifest in our lives.

If you believe it, you can make it happen.
That’s all you need,
is belief —
and of course the willingness to follow through
on whatever needs to be done on your part.
— Barefoot Doctor:
This day of love I take a vow
To love you well through all the days
Of long and labyrinthine ways:
But I would love you anyhow.These words bespeak my unbent will
To love despite the passing pain,
Anger, lust, fear, silence, shame:
But without words I’d love you still.
A vow of love’s the final seal
Upon an edict fully writ,
Not altering the sense of it,
Nor adding to the love we feel;
Or like an oarsman worth his weight
Upon a current swift and strong
That bears the fragile boat along
To where it meets its cherished fate.
So why a vow on Valentine?
Like any vow, to bind me to
Whatever I am bound to do:
Words that ride the wordless wind.

What Difference Does It Make to the Dead,
the Orphans, and the Homeless,
Whether the Mad Destruction Is Wrought
under the Name of Totalitarianism
or the Holy Name of Liberty and Democracy?”
- Mahatma Gandhi
How many members of your Sun sign does it take to change a light bulb?
Aries: Just one. You want to make something of it?
Taurus: One, but just "try" to convince them that the burned-out bulb is useless and should be thrown away.
Gemini: Two, but the job never gets done — they just keep arguing about who is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done.
Cancer: Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through the grief process.
Leo: Leos don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a Virgo to do the job for them while they're out.
Virgo: Approximately 1.0000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.
Libra: Er, two. Or maybe one. No - on second thought, make that two. Is that okay with you?
Scorpio: That information is strictly secret and shared only with the Enlightened Ones in the Star Chamber of the Ancient Hierarchical Order.
Sagittarius: The sun is shining, the day is young and we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid light bulb?
Capricorn: I don't waste my time with these childish jokes.
Aquarius: Well, you have to remember that everything is energy, so…
Pisces: Light bulb? What light bulb?

And keep up prayer in the two parts of the day and in the first hours of the night;
surely good deeds take away evil deeds this is a reminder to the mindful.
- The Holy Prophet 11.114
And stay in your houses and do not display your finery
like the displaying of the ignorance of yore;
and keep up prayer, and pay the poor-rate,
and obey Allah and His Apostle.
Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you,
O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying.
– (The Clans 33.33)
