Monday Afternoon Quotes

“We all dread the helplessness of losing control, and yet real freedom lies in recognizing the futility of demanding that life be within our control. Instead, we must learn the willingness to feel—to say yes to—the experience of helplessness itself. This is one of the hidden gifts of serious illness or loss. It pushes us right to our edge, where we may have the good fortune to realize that our only real option is to surrender to our experience and let it just be.”

 --Ezra Bayda

"To forget oneself is to be happy."

--Robert Louis Stevenson

“He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

--Martin Luther King
