“I’ve lost my wild heart once. Twice. Too many times to count.

I’ve lost her most often when I’ve forgotten myself, when I’ve denied my own truths, when I’ve pushed down the need to create for so long that my heart...she finds better things to do.

The funny thing is, that the losing and the finding are interwoven.

We must lose our wild hearts from time to time, I believe.

We must so that we know why we need them.

We must so that we remember that in order to be found we must go into the wilderness.
Sometimes, it is only in the getting lost that we can find our way back home.”
Jeanette LeBlanc, Wild Heart Writing: A 30-Day Course to Rediscover Your Deepest Truths

Ray Bradbury
“So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality. Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth. But when he was held, rootless, in mid-air, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isn't something in that legend for us today, in this city, in our time, then I am completely insane. Well, there we have the first thing I said we needed. Quality, texture of information.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Louise Penny
“The world turned upside down,' Beauvoir continued. 'It was at once more beautiful and more frightening than you'd been led to believe. And suddenly you didn't know what to do. Who to trust. Where to turn. It's terrifying. Being lost is so much worse than being on the wrong road. That's why people stay on it for so long.”
Louise Penny, A Great Reckoning

“I don't agree that life favors the prepared mind because life made me lose my mind.”
Luffina Lourduraj

Virginia Mary
“We all get lost sometimes, but if you know where you want to end up, you will find your way.”
Virginia Mary, Across the Great Ocean: Desolation

“Your purpose naturally is as unclear as your divine nature. To discover your purpose, you must reintroduce yourself to your divine nature. When you do, you'll begin to hear silent whispers directing you to your purpose.”
Val Uchendu

Stevan V. Nikolic
“…we cannot predict our lives. Only God Almighty knows and sees it all. We can only do our best and follow the path that He places under our feet. Things don’t always turn out the way we want, even if we do everything right. Even if we live by the word of God, He will not always answer our prayers the way we expect. And it is not our place to question God’s reasoning behind it, but only to have faith in His wisdom.”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

Stevan V. Nikolic
“God wants you to be truthful and humble to yourself and others. He made you good and industrious, but you can’t benefit from it if you always stumble on pride.”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

“…leaving a book behind keeps your thoughts alive in this world forever. So, in some ways, your spirit never dies. It is the best way to achieve immortality.”

Stevan V. Nikolic

Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

Stevan V. Nikolic

Patricio Telman Chincocolo

“Careful with those who have lost the battle....They're rationing reasons to LOVE.”

H.L. Balcomb
“For it is often through the gift of becoming undone, being in a situation that’s way over our heads, that we can understand our life’s purpose the clearest, especially how we can use our individuality to mend our undoing through a vision that better matches the potential of Higher Self.”
H.L. Balcomb, Cinderella In Focus: "Finding hope when you're feeling a sense of hopelessness!"

Anita Moorjani
“Remember, your only work is to love yourself, value yourself, and embody this truth of self-worth and self-love so that you can be love in action. That is true service, to yourself and to those who surround you. Realizing how loved and valued you are is what healed your cancer. This same knowledge is what will help you to create a life of heaven here on earth. You are serving no one when you get lost in the problems of the world. So the only question you need to ask when you are feeling defeated or lost is, "Where am I not loving myself? How can I value myself more?”
Anita Moorjani, What if THIS is Heaven?

“powerless and bold

she was the last thing
that she could control”

Stevan V. Nikolic
“Strangely enough, he didn’t feel any guilt for separating himself from his past. Five years ago, he clearly heard in his dream a message brought to him by Archangel Michael from the God Almighty, telling him he should get up and leave everything behind; that his place was not there; that it was time to go in search for his true self and for his true destiny.
Now, five years after, he was sitting in the Bowery chapel, a broken and homeless man, still trying to find that which he was looking for. But he didn’t regret anything he had done in those five years. In his mind, it wasn’t his doing. He sincerely believed that he surrendered his own will to the will of God and that everything that happened to him, good or bad, had to happen for some reason. It was God’s doing. It was his destiny. He just had to figure out why.”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

“How far we can go with our liberty of conscience, without offending God, and disturbing the natural order of things…”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

Stevan V. Nikolic
“I was going after a woman believing that the key is in being with her. But the key is in writing about her. The key is in words and words are in me. Longing for her is just an impulse for words to come out. And the whole purpose is for words to come out. Words are important. Words about love. About life.”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

Stevan V. Nikolic
“I don’t know why I am doing this. Everybody is saying bad things about you. Wherever you go, whatever you do, there is a noise after you… In spite of everything, I respect your courage to go after your ideals, no matter what. Men like you make this world move. I know that the road you go is covered with thorns. But I also know that it must be a road to the stars.”
Stevan V. Nikolic, Truth According to Michael

Stevan V. Nikolic
“Why do you want so much this new beginning? Do you think the new beginning will postpone the end? Are you afraid of the end? Are you afraid of death Michael?” (Ch.35)”

“If the atheist is right the theist has lost nothing but if the theist is right the atheist has lost everything including his life. You cannot separate from the source of life and still have life.”
Vincent Okay Nwachukwu

“These legends,' murmured Pizarro, 'which of us can say if they're true or not? So many memories come to as though from out of the fog. Sometimes I wake up in the morning convinced that I'm in my village in my beloved Extramadura, making a bell, absolutely sure that that's what I've done all my life. Then I remember where I am, and what I've seen, and I become old again.”
Antoine B. Daniel, Incas: The Light of Machu Picchu

Eric Overby
“The problem is that we identify ourselves with the thoughts that pass over like clouds. We grab hold of the thoughts and replay it over and over and over until we think it is us. We replay conversations we’ve had and hypothetical conversations we wish we’d had. We even think of future things that we want to say to someone. We are just a step away from internally sounding like a schizophrenic on the street. We just know that we shouldn’t say all the things that we think.”
Eric Overby

Courtney M. Privett
“The lies are as effortless as the truth, and I am no longer certain which are which. It is so easy to lose myself in the twisted boughs and broken groves of my labyrinth mind. There is too much nonsense, too many seeds floating into the desert, drifting languidly on a too-warm wind, too many tides waiting for a moon that long ago escaped from orbit and hurled itself into the sun.”
Courtney M. Privett, Sand into Glass

Mario Silverio
“¿What is it to feel lost? Being lost is like all your days seem different, even your senses and perception of yourself. The days go by just trying to act like you always used to”
Mario Silverio
