“When we are aware of our weaknesses or negative tendencies, we open the opportunity to work on them.”

“Human tendency is to make mountains out of molehills. Yet when we examine our problems...we realize it's how we look at them...that really makes the difference.”

“As she spoke, I wanted to cry, because sometimes it's just so damn hard to be a mother. We have to wait and wait and wait for our children to open their hearts to us. And if that doesn't work, we have to bide our time and look for the moment of weakness when we can sneak back into their lives and they will see us and remember us for the people who love them unconditionally.”

“Pleasures are like photographs: in the presence of the person we love, we take only negatives, which we develop later, at home, when we have at our disposal once more our inner dark room, the door of which it is strictly forbidden to open while others are present.”

“We must empower our weak to be strong, and teach our strong to be compassionate. This will open a door to oneness.”

“The poetry of mother earth is truly alive! When we open our ears...we hear it. When we open our hearts...we can feel it. When we open our minds...we shall see it!   Timothy Pina”
