Bloody Quotes

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
If we hold them too close, they break -
as a butterfly would.
By honoring and enjoying
the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,

Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.

it is merely the absence of light.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
