• I once picked up a woman from a garbage dump and she was burning with fever; she was in her last days and her only lament was: My son did this to me. I begged her: You must forgive your son. In a moment of madness, when he was not himself, he did a thing he regrets. Be a mother to him, forgive him. It took me a long time to make her say: I forgive my son. Just before she died in my arms, she was able to say that with a real forgiveness. She was not concerned that she was dying. The breaking of the heart was that her son did not want her. This is something you and I can understand.

  Mother Teresa

• The forgiving heart is capable of anything.
  I believe that deeply.
  And that's where in terms of becoming an empowered individual....
  when you get to the point where you realize you can look at someone and say
  “I love myself enough -
  not in a schmaltzy garbage sense, Hallmark stuff,
  I'm talking respect myself -
  I respect my life-force enough to no longer waste it.

• The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
  Rocks dont see it.
  Bless and sit down.
  Forgive and forget.
  Practice kindness all day to everybody
  and you will realize you’re already
  in heaven now.
  That’s the story.
  That’s the message.
  Nobody understands it,
  nobody listens, they’re
  all running around like chickens with heads cut
  off. I will try to teach it but it will
  be in vain, s’why I’ll
  end up in a shack
  praying and being
  cool and singing
  by my woodstove
  making pancakes.

  Jack Kerouac
