for I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
Don’t stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

because Dawn has come. ~Rabindranath Tagore

unbroken for all eternity. ~Mother Theresa

our hearts. It’s our connection to each other. It’s our connection to our Creator.
