REFLECTIONS

Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.

DELIA OWENS

How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and colour are their last days.

JOHN BURROUGHS

He loved October. Had always loved it. There was something sad and beautiful about it—the ending and beginning of things.

JACQUELINE WOODSON

The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye, the story of love is hello and goodbye... until we meet again.

JIMI HENDRIX

Light precedes every transition. Whether at the end of a tunnel, through a crack in the door or the flash of an idea, it is always there, heralding a new beginning.

TERESA TSALAKY

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH When you get your ‘Who am I?‘ question right, all of your ‘What should I do?’ questions tend to take care of themselves.

RICHARD ROHR

It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI

We need a movement of people who know we need each other, who have a sense of responsibility to others and to the world. We need to proclaim that being kind, having faith, and working for the common good are great life goals that need courage and vigour.

POPE FRANCIS

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

DOROTHY PARKER

Don’t wait until you’ve reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal.

SIMONE BILES

Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.

CHRIS HADFIELD

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.

ST THÉRÈSE OF LISIEUX

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.

ROSA PARKS

The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.

ANNE LAMOTT
