The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert H. Humphrey

Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. Tori Amos

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are. Rachel Naomi Remen

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with. Harry Crews

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a wonder of migration. Every winter it makes an amazing journey. Some have been known to make a journey of 2500 miles or more, from Alaska to Central America. Because of it, the hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. It will teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances. Ted Andrews, Animal-Speak

Sip the sweet moments. Let your true colors glow. Don’t get your feathers ruffled over little things. Just wing it. Take yourself lightly. Keep your visits short and sweet! unknown

Hummingbird shows us how to re-visit the past for the purpose of releasing it instead of being caught in a permanently backward flight pattern. It also helps us to see that if we step aside we may see our life differently. Hummingbird teaches us to transcend time, to recognize that what has happened in the past and what might happen in the future is not nearly as important as what we are experiencing now. It teaches us to hover in the moment, to appreciate its sweetness. Constance Barrett Sohodski, Beyond the Rainbow

A flash of harmless lightning, A mist of rainbow dyes, The burnished sunbeams brightening From flower to flower he flies. John Banister Tabb

Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty, and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence. Hummingbird brings the gift of joy. Learn to laugh and be happy. unknown

We could learn a lot from a box of crayons:some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors… but they have all learned to live inthe same box. Anonymous

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. Allen Klein

I think the Old Masters would have considered Crayola Crayons a high-tech palette in a box. Jeffrey Robert THE CRAYON ARTIST®

Life is about using the whole box of crayons. RuPaul

And most [boxes of crayons] have 16 colors…twice as many as a simple box of crayons. It is the variations in the world that make life worth living. It’s about the appreciation for the differences and the sameness that mankind share. We couldn’t possible glory in the beauty of a yellow, sunny day if we had never seen a gray and gloomy one. Nor could we marvel at the sea foam green of the ocean if it didn’t lay against the sky blue of the Heavens. Use them all. Make things the color that you want them… after all, no one else’s opinion matters but your own. I personally see nothing wrong with a purple horse… and neither did my mom.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself. Jiddu Krishnamurti

When you follow your bliss… doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else. Joseph Campbell

Trouble knocked on the door, but, hearing laughter, hurried away. Benjamin Franklin

ENVELOPE, n. The coffin of a document; the scabbard of a bill; the husk of a remittance; the bed-gown of a love-letter. Ambrose Bierce

Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it? Mark Twain

Letters are expectation packaged in an envelope. Shana Alexander

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. Buddha

When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others. Peace Pilgrim

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Love is the harmony of two souls singing together. Gregory J. P. Godek

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. Denis Waitley

Let us read and let us dance - two amusements that will never do any harm to the world. Voltaire

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear. Henry David Thoreau
