But never move the way fear makes you move.”

Are stored in the secret heart of heaven
One day like rain, they will fall and spread
And our mystery will grow green over the world.”

Shoulder to the wind, I’ll turn my face into the spray
And when the heaven’s open, lets the drops fall where they may!”
~From Children of Eden, S.Schwartz

Phenomenally,
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.”

“Feel yourself being quietly drawn
By the deeper pull
of what you truly love.”
~Rumi

when we are most vulnerable –
It is only then, that the walls come down
and the soul radiates through-
With honesty and impassioned abandonment -
Our art can truly soar.”
~Renee Katz
“Perhaps you feel too much and
maybe that’s a crime,
Perhaps you pray too much
and there isn’t any shrine.”

they’ll never pull me down.”

You were quiet, I made you tell long stories.
No one knew who you were,
But they do now.”

Where the loving never ends
And we recognize these people
As the treasures we call friends.”

“Don’t worry about saving these songs.
And if one of our instruments breaks
it doesn’t matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere.
And even if the whole world’s harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of
your chest and let the spirits fly,
in and out.”
~Rumi
