Good morning, Alexandra... three wonderful quotes, but this one is my favorite:

"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly."

Good morning Ron and Alexandra Seigel ,

Love all three quotes by Rumi but my favorite is "Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk."

Like Nina Hollander -that last quote speaks volumes. It could have been written by one of today's coaches or thought leaders, instead of in the 13th century. Some truths are eternal.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel 

I liked this quote the best

"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly."

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - the third quote is why I love children so much.  You can see their goodness and trust. They have not yet been tainted by the world around them.  Their energy is pure and wonderful to experience.

Michael Jacobs Those quotes have served us well.  On the first one, we met an Israeli who was invited to speak to a Palestinian meeting.  He is a musician, and he wrote a song based on both faction creating Rumi's field...We teared up hearing it.  A
