“Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Another quote I have on my desk:
“Well-behaved women rarely make history.”

This quote is often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, Anne Boleyn, or Marilyn Monroe, but it was actually written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich in a 1976 academic paper.

Both quotes—so true, so true.

Refuge

Why do I
seek refuge in
    Nature and
    Earth?

Because it is where
    I
    hear Him
    the loudest.

Eagles Fly

Silence comes quietly,
fills the woods.
I am a child of the
woods,
where my spirit soars.
Morning rising—
eagles fly.

On Wings of Water

Celestial light
on wings of water,
rainbows gathered,
and waves inherit
the spirits of souls.

Three Billion Years

Canadian bedrock,
granite over 3 billion

    years old—
their
    aura
overwhelming … whispers:

    I am alive
    I am alive

She heard them.
    She felt their history.

Believe

A lack of belief in yourself makes you cling to the comforts and material possessions of someone else. What we tell ourselves determines who we are and shapes our future. Often, what we tell ourselves keeps us from becoming who we truly are.

Ask yourself:

Do I have new thoughts?
Am I walking the same way?
Am I afraid of rocking the boat?
Do I love the same way?
Do I pray the same way?
Do I have the same goals?
Do I know why I am here?
Do I knock?
Do I open?
Am I willing to change?
