We come equipped with hearts to break, and eyes to cry with.  We have brains to hold the memories and stories, and voices to tell them with.  We have the capacity to love and heal.  (Ruth Ozek.  The Art of Losing: On Writing, Dying and Mom.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you love and heal.

Denial often serves to protect something valuable that we sense is in danger.  If I deny the problem, I avoid the responsibility and the guilt it may bring with it.  (Lee Mun Wah. The Art of Mindful Facilitation).

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you face your denial and the impact of your denial.

When we do not see the good in a person and concentrate instead on what we do not like, then it becomes easy for ill will, anger, judgments, and even hatred to arise.  (Joseph Goldstein, Insight Meditation: The Practice of Freedom)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you focus on the good qualities of others (and yourself).
