Know

Your heart knows in silence
the secrets of the days and the nights
but your ears thirst
for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words
that which you have always
known in thought
You would touch
with your fingers
the naked body of your dreams

Self is a sea of knowledge
boundless and measureless

Kahlil Gibran

ALL

All life is darkness unless there is urge
All urge is blind unless there is knowledge
All knowledge is vain unless there is work
All work is empty unless there is love

"When you work
you are a flute through whose heart
the whispering of the hours turns to music"

"Weave the cloth from the thread of your heart.
Build a house with affection’’

"Work is love made visible"

Kahlil Gibran

OPPORTUNITIES

OPPORTUNITIES
"There is no security in life, only opportunity."
Denis Waitley

"Pa, he always said a man had to look spry for himself,
because nobody else would do it for him;
your opportunities didn't come knocking around,
you had to hunt them up and hog-tie them."
Louis L'Amour

"Effective people are not problem-minded;
they're opportunity-minded.
They feed opportunities and starve problems."
Stephen Covey

"If opportunity doesn't knock build a door."
Milton Berle

Four Leaf Clover

Four-leaf Clover
A Poem by Ella Higginson

I know a place where the sun is like gold
and the cherry blooms burst with snow,
and down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for HOPE,
and one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE,
you know,
And GOD
put another in for LUCK
--If you search,
you will find where they grow.

But you must have HOPE,
and you must have FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong
-- and so --If you work,
if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow~!
