Proverbs  dEj

Honor Thyself, not before, but always equal to all.


Confrontation is an attempt to preserve a relationship.


We are mirrors reflecting the soul of life.


A mirror without reflection has no worth.

 

Remember that we never will please all, we shall however,

 with earnest effort and pleasure please some always,

but we never really fail as we discover and reveal each our own genius!

 

Forgive yourself before others need to.


True love wants not but to abide itself.


Bear charity with alacrity.


Your past good deeds are spent. The only good deed you will ever perform, is your next act of Love.


Recall always your moral imperative to dance for those who cannot.


Know this and all days might be better used by those who are denied them.
Do something they can no longer do.


Never speak when your mouth should be full.


Do not control others because you can.


View death as a poet sees the blank page, a new adventure.


Desist with attempts to be, and simply BE.


Love the Daylight.


Love the Night.


Know all truths reside in Nature.


Never tell a child you will do a thing, and fail to follow through.


Fathers.... raise your children.


Leave everything better than you found it.   (Thor taught me this.... the most difficult one)


Be Blessed with the insight, that you may see a beautiful world.


Recognize the capacity of your soul is diminished by  neglecting others.


The path to the heavens is traced with the tears of the Sun.


Know that, in fact the grass is not greener over the septic tank, but the drainfield (?)


We are never truly nurtured by neglect, indifference, nor feigned appreciation,
but rather by the reflections of love of life we experience in and through each other.


Know we all wear our masques for different reasons at different times, but we all wear masques.


Know everyday is special! every moment an opportunity to embrace beauty, rather than darkness and pain.


Above all else;

Love All, Trust Few, and Harm None.

A wonderful piece of work.

"Above all else;

Those are especially great words by which to live!
