Welcome to these Referring Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.
If you have never experienced the practice
of daily journaling, give it a try. I highly recommend it.

in which to record the events of your life,
I am talking about a place to record your feelings -
a friend with whom to share your troubles, fears, hopes, and dreams.

Do feuds ever end?
Only when both sides shake hands,
and agree that there is no winner, no loser,
only people who have wearied of fighting
and desire to live in peace.

in a murderous and seemingly unending feud.
The key to ending the feud was a shared commitment
that peace was more important than vengeance.
That is always the choice to be made.
The organizers of an April 10, 2009
joint Protestant-Catholic commemoration
of the Northern Ireland dead,
comprised of members of the once-outlawed Sinn Fein
as well as their once-avowed enemies,
referred to, "the terrible, random nature
of death in war and civil conflict."
Some lessons have been learned, many more remain.

Wuji refers to the time before the creation -

and the tip of my tongue touches the roof of my mouth.

and my palms parallel to each other - about four inches apart.

Later, I visualize the energy or "Qi" between my palms.
