Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.
In this world-view, money that is spent
or given away returns multiplied.
