Pray Hard. Live Easy.

I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road. Give me such courage and I can scale the hardest peaks alone, And transform every stumbling block into a stepping stone. ---- Gale Brook Burket

To love is to recognize yourself in another.  -Eckhart Tolle

"The heart has its reasons,   which reason knows not of." -  Blaise Pascal 23:03 The rescue is always within reach. Don't be shy to ask for help, within or around you. Consider Pascal's call to life:   "If you bet on God,   and open yourself to his love,   you lose nothing, even if you're wrong.   But if instead you bet that there is no God,   then you can lose it all, in this life and the life to come."  

"My soul is from elsewhere and I intend to end up there." - Rumi

"Surely the one true representation of who we are is in the way we treat others." - Pray Hard, Live Easy  "It's in our hearts that the evil lies, and it's from our hearts that it must be plucked out." - Albert Einstein
