“Her nervous system had been through so much. She decided to spend the rest of her life calming the inflammation. Thoughts, feelings, memories, behavior, relations. She soothed it all with deep, Loving breaths and gentle practices. The softer she became with herself, the softer she became with the world, which became softer with her. She birthed a new generational cycle: Peace.”
— Dr. Jaiya John, Fragrance After Rain
“Love empowers us to live fully and die well. Death becomes, then, not an end to life but a part of living.”

“Justice between people is perhaps the most important connection people can have.”

“Had I been given a clear definition of love earlier in my life it would not have taken me so long to become a more loving person. Had I shared with others a common understanding of what it means to love it would have been easier to create love.”
“Before you become miserable in love, remember: not every beautiful thing is meant for you. Sometimes the grown-up thing to do is ooh & ahh & walk away.”
— Claudia Dawson, “Every beautiful thing“
“The way of the miracle-worker is to see all human behavior as one two things: either love, or a call for love”
