"We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry,
or because they remain intrigued with each other,
because of many kindnesses,
because of luck.

But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness."

~ Ellen Goodman

“Come again, come whoever you are, this caravan is not of despair.

Come, come whoever you are, whoever you are, come.

Even though you have broken your vows, perhaps ten thousand times,

Still come again, come, whoever you are, whoever you are, come.

Wander, worshipper, lover of leaving, come.

This caravan has no despair,

We travel the road of the friend."

~Jalaluddin Rumi


“If you are but content, you have enough to live upon with comfort.”

~Plantes

“Friends do not despair.
A difficult time has come upon us; our joy must fill the air.
We must not lose our joy of living, we must not despair.
For a difficult time is upon us, our joy must fill the air.”

~Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
