This year we celebrate the 200th Birthday of the great American poet Walt Whitman. A humanist, antislavery crusader, liberalist and free thinker, he stood alone as a new American voice.
Celebrate his life by delving into his excellent prose.
The way to happiness is:
Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry.
Live simply, give much.
Fill your life with love.
Do as you would be done by.
The Buddha

Your value is the product of your thoughts.
Do not miscalculate your self-worth by multiplying your insecurities.
Insecurities take birth when we search validation, an approval by others, when we search respect in others eyes🕯️🔥

Do not grow old, no matter how long you live.
Never cease to stand like curious children
Before the Great Mystery into which we were born.
Albert Einstein
Happiness is not something far away.
It is found neither in fame nor in popularity.
When you live with integrity, well tuned to existence, your heart begin to fill with happiness as vast as the universe.
It’s about being true to yourself & celebrating life moment to moment🕯️🔥
Every creature has a function, none is superfluous. The whole universe speaks the language of God's love, of His boundless affection for us: soil, water, mountains, everything is God's caress. #Biodiversity#LaudatoSì'
Our life depends on others so much that at the root of our existence is a fundamental need for love. That is why it is good to cultivate an authentic sense of responsibility and concern for the welfare of others.
How we view human nature can mean the difference between living in a world filled with people who are perceived as hostile, violent and dangerous, or as essentially kind, helpful and gentle. A deep awareness of the essential goodness of human beings can give us courage and hope.
