César Chávez Day

“You are never strong enough that you don't need help.”

-César Chávez

You Can Do Anything

“Now is the time to awaken and take action... This is a crucially important moment for humanity and for Earth. Each person is important. If you have incarnated into this era, you have spiritual work to do balancing the planet...The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find you heart, and you will find your way."

-Carlos Barrios

Special

“I'd rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.”

In Your Eyes

"Tomorrow we will only give them

a leaf of the tree of our love, a leaf

which will fall on the earth

like if it had been made by our lips

like a kiss which falls

from our invincible heights

to show the fire and the tenderness

of a true love."

-Pablo Neruda

We Are One

"Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die."

-Pablo Neruda

Renewal

"Deep, unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism,  a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.   Suffering can be likened to a baptism - the passing over the threshold of pain and grief and anguish to claim a new state of being."

-George Elliot
