simple truths

 What would it take to have me? It would take matching my heart- The one God gave me, to love others  As he has loved me.

Realize that nothing outside of you  will end your suffering, bring you happiness  or heal your wounds. You will only pull near to you a new thing  to blame for your pain, your suffering  or to cause you new wounds. You must sit still. Alone. Be silent. Understand YOU are enough.  You a...
