“When you teach, you take someone’s life into your hands.”

-Martha Graham

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening

that is translated through you into action.

And because there is only one of you in all time

this expression is unique.

If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium

and be lost.

The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is

Nor how valuable it is;

Nor how it compares with other expressions.

It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly,

To keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.

You have to keep open and aware directly

Of the urges that motivate you.

Keep the channel open.

No artist is pleased.

There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.

There is only a queer, divine, dissatisfaction,

A blessed unrest that keeps us marching

And makes us more alive than the others.”

-Martha Graham

“By constantly seeing the Light of God, hearing the Sound of God, and perceiving the vibration of God cascading from the crown chakra into the whole body and covering the entire Universe, the answer to any question, the solution to any problem, the interpretation of any scripture or event, is immediately perceived.”

“It’s better to love everybody than to try to figure it all out.”

– Neem Karoli Baba

May there be tranquility on earth, on water, in fire, in the wind, in the sky, in the sun, on the moon, on our planet, in all living beings, in the body, in the mind and in the spirit. May that tranquility be everywhere and in everyone.

- words in Sanskrit by Ravi Shankar and Dr. Nandakumara

Never Give Up

Never give up

No matter what is going on

Never give up

Develop the heart

Too much energy in your country

is spent developing the mind

instead of the heart

Develop the heart

Be compassionate

Not just to your friends

but to everyone

Be compassionate

Work for peace

And I say again

Never give up

No matter what is happening

No matter what is going on around you

Never give up.

-His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama

Keep your thoughts positive.

Your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive.

Your words become your actions.

Keep your actions positive.

Your actions become your habits.

Keep your habits positive.

Your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive.

Your values become your destiny.

-Mahatma Gandhi
