— The god of war climbs the birch trees
to guard our earthly moon.—
March 1st
Nature awakens in brilliant colors of autumn, making me wish winter
would bid adieu.
March 2nd
I see the good in the world because I choose to. I don’t imagine it’s there; it’s there
waiting to be noticed.
March 3rd
Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a
gift. And eventually we find that
lessons learned from that discouraging experience prove to be of great worth.
March 4th
A daily dose of daydreaming heals the heart, soothes the soul, and
strengthens the imagination.
March 5th
Why is it that at the very moment I need to be wise I stumble and fall
like a fool, as if this had never played through my mind differently a million
times?
March 6th
If you avoid all of life’s abrasions, you will never be polished enough
to shine.
March 7th
The key to valuing something is to lose it and then realize how rare it
was—after which you pray like mad to regain what you lost. The value of an item often depends upon how
hard it is to attain.
March 8th
No matter how many lies you use to disguise it or how many excuses you
bury it beneath, the truth will never cease to be true.
March 9th
Lying is wrong. When you tell a
lie for the sake of sparing someone’s feelings it is not suddenly right, but it
is compassionate. And is not compassion a form of love? Love—the greatest of all virtues! Therefore, my darling, I do wrong for you. I lie so you might feel loved.
March 10th
Okay, let’s put this another way—if what you’re about to say wouldn’t
look good permanently engraved on your tombstone, bite your tongue.
March 11th
My spirit mirrors the radiance of a clear, blue sky. With closed eyes I lift my face and smile,
warmed from the core and from above. All
hopes and dreams compete with this endless expanse of heaven, desiring the
clock of eternity.
I reach with my hands―frenziedly achieving―attempting to learn and do
all. Yet I understand the humble truth;
a drop of rain shall amount to my contribution among all the droplets in the
vast ocean of human history.
It is a pure and precious tear that seeps from my efforts....my
existence.
Taste how sweet!
It is all I have, given willingly.
March 12th
Life is a puzzle, a riddle, a test, a mystery, a game—whatever
challenge you wish to compare it to.
Just remember, you’re not the only participant; no one person holds all
the answers, the pieces, or the cards.
The trick to success in this life is to accumulate teammates and not
opponents.
March 13th
Sometimes it feels as if God set you on Earth with a bottle full of
nasty-tasting pills called days and
these instructions: Swallow one at a
time. When entire prescription is
finished, you may return home.
March 14th
Yes, happiness is dependent upon misery. For we all feel a swell of happiness after
our circumstances improve from a misery recently suffered.
March 15th
Just resign yourself to the fact that you’re going to be miserable so
you can finally be happy. (It’s a sound theory if you think about it
hard enough.)
