"If there is traffic... perfect, there is more time to bond."
Written in 2007 by Danika M. --- California
My mom and I were late for a family party. When we got onto the freeway it was a mess. My mother was so mad and she said, "Look at the traffic, it's horrible", and I said, "Perfect more time to bond". After saying that it made the situation a joke. The ride was actually very fun. It taught the both of us to breathe, relax and let time do its job.

"One's energy is a reflection of his or her soul."
Written in 2007 by Shane Griffin --- Alabama
I personally am very passionate for all types of art, poetry, and even personal quotes. I thought of this and only wanted to share. I was just thinking of life and our place in this world. I began to wonder how I would define a soul and basically thought energy. I believe there is good and bad energy just as there are souls. I know that really we are all just forms of energy and our actions are just expressions of this energy. In turn our energy is just a reflection of our souls.

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child --- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

"I'm here (earth) to do, not watch it be done."
Written in 2003 by Stephen Todey --- California
Every minute you're sleeping, is a minute you're missing. I came up with quote at 5:30am in May of 2003 while on an adventure with my brother and friends in the BWCA. They were all still sleeping; it was our last day of a seven day trip. I woke to enjoy the last morning and realized THEY were missing this moment and would NEVER be able to get it back. That's when it came to me.

"Many a time, we become impatient when we don't get our way. Have you ever heard people say, "Don't just stand there, do something."

Distance yourself from the good and bad past, as there is something new waiting for you in your appointed season."
