A wisdom quote from Neale Donald Walsch on “Why is this happening?”
“Why is this happening?” is the most useless question in the Universe. The only really profitable question is, “What?” As in, “What do I choose now?” This question empowers.

A quote (within quotes) by Neale Donald Walsch on “fear”
“Fear is one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” Bertrand Russell said that, and he was right.

SUFI POEMS: “A single word can brighten the face” by Yunus Emre
“A single word can brighten the face” A single word can brighten the face of one who knows the value of words. Ripened in silence, a single word acquires a great energy for work. War is cut short by a word, and a word heals the wounds, and there’s a word that changes poison into…
Spirituality from daily Word: “Patience” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Paciencia”)
