“My Beloved Son!
Special appreciation from a wonderful Mother

Look at you all grown up
Kind, but tough
What an honour
To be your Mother
Truly blessed by your aura
You have done me a favour
By being part of my life
I am grateful that you are fine
May you know whose you are

As your loving parent
I make the commitment
To share essential lessons
That can help you excel
In the path that lies ahead
I hope you will understand
How you will get there
With joy, love and care
Please, lend me an ear
Of this, you should hear

Be grounded in the Lord
Pursue His Wisdom
Acknowledge His grace
Seek His ways all your days
So, when hail comes your way
You will not faint, but reign
Stand tall like a tower
Go higher and higher
Please shine brighter
My beloved son”

“Some afternoons we sit in groves carpeted with emerald moss, and other evenings we spend in high towers or up in trees. We learn about the movements of constellations in the sky, the medicinal and magical properties of herbs, the language of birds and flowers and people as well as the language of the Folk (though it occasionally twists in my mouth), the composition of riddles, and how to walk soft-footed over leaves and brambles to leave neither trace nor sound. We are instructed in the finer points of the harp and the lute, the bow and the blade. Taryn and I watch them as they practice enchantments. For a break, we all play at war in a green field with a broad arc of trees.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“Day 1 of January
Look back only when you need to learn some lessons from your past. Do not go there if you want to make significant progress in life.

It is quite common to think about the past. Sometimes the mind wanders into areas over which you no longer have control, which can impede progress. Thus, you must constantly remind yourself to look forward. Make the decision to only look back when you take suitable lessons from the past.

Devotion
Dear Lord, I thank you for today. I pray you help me to attain superior levels of thinking, to be forward-focused and learn good lessons from my past. Amen.”
― Gift Gugu Mona, Daily Quotes and Devotions: Towards a Fruitful Life

“Once upon a time, when I first ventured out to cover war in the Middle East, I carted around palm-sized books of poems by early twentieth century poets like Wilfried Owen, and at night I would fall asleep beneath a dim lamp light submerged in beautifully written conflict memoirs by John Hersey and Michael Herr, comforted by the anecdotes of sadness and self-preservation.

These days, I carry with me a hand-scrawled notebook of the above words of wisdom and reflection, treasuring the many inspiring humans who have welcomed me into their lives in their darkest and most triumphant moments.

These beautifully ordinary people remind me that we all have the innate potential not only to surmount, but to thrive. Go forth and conquer. The choice is yours.”

“Ayesha’s memories of Syria are fractured. She relives a feeling of constant exhaustion, of feeling unsafe, and then those moments before the injury. Her thoughts shift to the aftermath, the vision of displaced persons flooding over Turkey’s border and back into Syria, even while the conflict peaked.
But even after endless painful and traumatic surgeries, Ayesha sits in bed with her schoolbooks and shrugs.

“Never give in, never give up,” she stresses, scrolling through her toddler photographs — evidence of the life “before.”

“Even when you think hope is lost, it will be back in you.”

“A child just needs to be loved,” Malia, an older and wiser single mother defiantly responded as I vented my fears promised me defiantly after I vented my deepest fear. “That is what matters. That is all that matters.”

The glistening, translucent trappings of materialism, of keeping up and stretching ourselves beyond our means in everyday life dissolved. Possessions and pressed private school uniforms will never be more important than authentic, unconditional, wholehearted love – so vital yet so undervalued in our developed world of dizzying wants and mores.”
