Walking Quotes

Walking is good for the soul. It is amazing how much better you feel and the superabundance ideas that come to you as you do. If you can’t go out into nature, go to a park or just look up in the sky for a moment when you are outside. I love to walk and I sometimes re-live my best childhood memories at that time. Walking is wonderful therapy as the following quotes attest to.

Silence Quotes

 

woman holding violin writing in the sand Silence QuotesIt is the silence between the notes that makes the music. Zen prophet

All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are. Adyashanti

 Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness. Samuel Becket

…I keep noticing that most human speech—if not all human speech—is made with the outgoing breath. This is the strange thing about presence and absence. When we breath in, our bodies are filled with nutrients and nourishment. Our blood is filled with oxygen, our skin gets flush; our bones get harder—they get compacted. Our muscles get toned and we feel very present when we’re breathing in. The problem is, that when we’re breathing in, we can’t speak. So presence and silence have something to do with each other.  Li-Young Lee

 I sometimes like to sit in the silence and darkness and listen to my heart shine. Frank Gilroy

In the silence between your heartbeat bides a summons. Do you hear it? Name it if you must, or leave it forever nameless, but why pretend it is not there? Rumi

 Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our inner wisdom-light. Sri Chinmoy

It takes solitude under the stars, for us to be reminded of our eternal origin and our far destiny. Archibald Rutledge

 Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods. Ralph Waldo Emerson

See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence…we need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa

A Mother holds her children’s hands for a while…their hearts forever. Unknown

A little girl, asked where her home was, replied, where mother is. Keith L. Brooks

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. Washington Irving

A mother never realizes that her children are no longer children. James Agee

Shy Woman in Gold Dress Shyness Quotes

Do not be shy but rather be daring and be bold – if there is something that you can do, then do it. Dick Gautier

 

There is something beautiful about shyness, even though in our culture shyness is not considered a virtue. On the contrary, we are encouraged to be direct, look people straight in the eyes, tell them what is on our minds, and share our stories without a blush. But this unflinching soul-baring, confessional attitude quickly becomes boring. It is like trees without shadows. Shy people have long shadows, where they keep much of their beauty hidden from intruders’ eyes. Shy people remind us of the mystery of life that cannot be simply explained or expressed. They invite us to reverent and respectful friendships and to a wordless being together in love. Henri Nouwen

Even when a girl is as shy as a mouse, you still have to beware of the tiger within. Chinese Proverb

Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep. Madonna

You’re lucky enough to be different from everyone else…don’t change to be the same. Taylor Swift

Mother nature mad me the way I am and I should be happy. Karolina Kurkova

When I feel like saying something, I say it. Madonna
