Grief gets a voice. Maria Shriver's keynote from the 2009 Women's Conference...

Keep a smile in your heart and a melody in your soul. There is a Sufi story about an Ocean-Frog who comes to visit a pond-frog, whose pond is three feet by four feet by two feet deep. The pond-frog is very eager and proud to show off the dimensions of his habitat. He dives down two feet to the bottom and comes up and asks, "Did you ever see water this deep? What is it like where you live?" The Ocean-Frog (from the Ocean of Ilm, the Divine Wisdom, which has no boundaries) cannot explain to the pond-frog what his Ocean home is Like, but he says, "One day I'll take you there, and you can swim in it." Let today be that day! With infinite Love and Gratitude, Melanie

One of my favorite speeches by a President... Lyndon B. Johnson... given before a joint session of congress March 15, 1965 on voting rights, one of the most basic tools of democracy. It is a speech to remember. Lyndon B. Johnson did not 'win' the Presidency, he ascended to the office due to the horrific assassination of President Kennedy. Johnson understood that one man doesn't 'make' human rights changes, he merely steps into the space of truth and offers it up for review, so the people, all the people, can move into a higher thought pattern, a space of humanity above the 'battlefield' and petty tyrannies of fear... :President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s speech to a joint session of Congress on March 15, 1965: "At times history and fate meet at a single time in a single place to shape a turning point in man's unending search for freedom. Our mission is at once the oldest and the most basic of this country: to right wrong, to do justice, to se...

Today and everyday awaken "the better angels of our nature." From the last line of the last paragraph of Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address delivered one hundred and fifty years ago March 4, 1861 as tensions between the North and South were exploding and Civil war was imminent. "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."  All great speeches share one common thread, there ability to divine the truth creating space for the eternal. The words may change. The times may be different, but, in the stirring of the heart a great speech gives birth to the openness of possibility and in that openness we are give...

Dust as we are, the immortal spirit grows Like harmony in music; there is a dark Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles Discordant elements, makes them cling together In one society. How strange, that all The terrors, pains, and early miseries, Regrets, vexations, lassitudes interfused Within my mind, should e'er have borne a part, And that a needful part, in making up The calm existence that is mine when I Am worthy of myself! Praise to the end!

You can have it all! http://alwaysalice.blogspot.com/2009/12/retro-music-fest.html Feel the rhythm today and everyday!

Every now and then I highlight wisdom from another writer.... Today's Loving Thoughts are written by Regina Brett of The Plain Dealer Newspaper, Cleveland, Ohio: 1. Life is not fair, but it is still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 6. You do not have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It is more healing than crying alone. 8. It is OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 11. Make peace with your past so it will not screw up the present. 12. It is OK to let your children see you cry. 13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea that their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you should not be in it. 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But do not worry; God never blinks. 16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful, or joyful. 1...
