Do not

Do not abandon trust when your ego thinks things should be different than they are.

~Wayne Dyer

The only

The only real security in life lies in relishing life's insecurity.

~M. Scott Peck

When

When I grip the wheel too tight, I find I lose control.

~Steve Rapson

It's important

It's important to be heroic, ambitious, productive, efficient, creative, and progressive, but these qualities don't necessarily nurture soul. The soul has different concerns, of equal value: downtime for reflection, conversation, and reverie; beauty that is captivating and pleasuring; relatedness to the environs and to people; and any animal’s rhythm of rest and activity.

~Thomas Moore

If you're having difficulty

If you're having difficulty coming up with new ideas, then slow down. For me, slowing down has been a tremendous source of creativity. It has allowed me to open up -- to know that there's life under the earth and that I have to let it come through me in a new way. Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.

-- Natalie Goldberg

If

If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what good am I? If not now, when?

~Ethics of the Fathers

Each Man

Each man is different;
Each man must find his own path.
Each man is the same;
Each man must find his own path.

~Don Juan

Nature

Nature has undoubtedly mastered the art of winter gardening and even the most experienced gardener can learn from the unrestrained beauty around them.

~Vincent A. Simeone

One

One of my current pet theories is that the winter is a kind of evangelist, more subtle than Billy Graham, of course, but of the same stuff.
