“There are a hundred ways

to kneel and kiss the ground.”

Rumi

This quote, from the Middle Eastern poet Rumi, hangs above my desk as inspiration. Written to suggest that holiness is not prescribed but can instead be expressed in any number of ways, it is also a mantra for how to live creatively. (more…)

Question for the Day: May 22, 2009

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

“When you don’t want to do something

one excuse is as good as another.”

Yiddish proverb

This quote is a reminder that we have more control over our lives that we would sometimes like to admit!

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“My heart goes out to …“

Have you heard these words? We say them when we care deeply about a person or are moved by the plight of a group of people in a difficult situation. The wonderful idea created is that we send our heart – that keeper of our spirituality, our emotions, our souls — to be shared with someone else! (more…)
