Threading

About changes in many perspectives, about the good side of changes and willing to change in good. About Optimism, about support about not giving up. About beauty and open eyes, about the relativity of things, about the gentle that is strong, the fragile that holds a world. About Us.

“The soul that is attached to anything however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union.

~ St. John of the Cross

“The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.
~ Marcus Aurelius

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of thegreatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and mostobvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsityof conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues,which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven,thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.
~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Begin to weave and God will give the thread.
~ German Proverb

You Yourself are Beautiful, and You Yourself entice the world. You Yourself, by Your Kind Mercy, weave the thread of the world.
~ Sri Guru Granth Sahib

The common thread here is that we're concerned that people who are being attracted to this endeavor understand the risks as well as the potential rewards.

~ Eva Longoria
