“Before the moon I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman’s power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon.” – Ursula K. Le Guin
“Reality has completely changed, one’s heart simply doubled in size! Meanwhile, so many things that were considered valueable or important got devalued, while others gained priority. Day-to-day life became so narrow, certain freedoms shrank… motherhood is once instinctive and learned, ancient and redefined at every passing moment.

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow.

“Nothing is more precious in the eyes of God than balance.” – Baha’i writings
“The essence of our human existence is to raise those who have fallen, to find the ones who are lost, to shed light onto the minds of those who see darkness, to cleanse those who have been disparaged. In sum, our mission is to lead our fellow human beings to salvation and redemption. We need to be lifted into the stratosphere onto another level of existence where our spiritual essence can be exposed.” – Hamvas Béla
“The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.” – Daniel Defoe
“Nobody sees a flower – really – it is so small it takes time – we haven’t time – and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” – Georgia O’Keeffe
