“Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch”

“How fleeting is this world
yet it survives.
It is ourselves that fade from it
and our ephemeral lives.”

“An en is a karmic bond lasting a lifetime. Nowadays many people seem to believe their lives are entirely a matter of choice; but in my day we viewed ourselves as pieces of clay that forever show the fingerprints of everyone who has touched them.”

“One reason we stop praying or let our prayer lives fade is that we are too comfortable.”

“Our lives are like the wind… or like sounds.

We come into being, resonate with each other…

Then fade away”

“We don't live in our fears, we live in our hopes.”

“Sometimes, on our way through the world, we meet someone who touches our heart in a way others don't.”

“The inward stirring and touching of God makes us hungry and yearning; for the Spirit of God hunts our spirit: and the more it touches it, the greater our hunger and our craving. And this is the life of love in its highest working, above reason and above understanding; for reason can here neither give nor take away from love, for our love is touched by the Divine love. And as I understand it, here there can never more be separation from God. God’s touch within us, for as much as we feel it, and our own loving craving, these are both created and creaturely; and therefore they may grow and increase as long as we live.”

“For one moment our lives met, our souls touched.”

“We should do good deeds that touch people’s hearts throughout our lives. Only by setting a good example for others will we become strong.”
