Silence is the mother of truth. – Benjamin Disraeli
I resonate with Disraeli’s words. When we are able to stop the mental spinning with thoughts about a situation, from the space of a calm mind we may get an intuitive “aha” moment that often gives us greater clarity. Also, a mind that is still/calm is receptive to spiritual truths. It is one of the reasons spiritual teachers encourage meditation, and why I often meditate. I have a very busy mind and I am learning to get quieter.

I have a collection of quotes with photos of children that I wanted to share.
I love images combined with words, as they often have an impact on one’s mind and heart. If the information is not reaching the mind, it may reach the heart via images or the images can speak to the mind.
The following collection are one of my favorites as the images of children are pure, full of innocence, and does not conflict with the message (well, at least to my eyes).
Enjoy!
"Intellect alone is not enough to guide us," "To shape the future of the twenty-first century we need something else. Without peace and happiness we cannot take care of ourselves; we cannot take care of other species and we cannot take care of the world." Thich Nhat Hanh
“There are women’s fashion magazines that tell us that in
order to succeed, you have to look a certain way, and use a certain
product. Many young people in our society want to have cosmetic
surgery in order to meet that standard of beauty. They suffer very
much, because they cannot accept their bodies. When you do not
accept your body as it is, you are not your true home. Every child
is born in the garden of humanity as a flower. Your body is a kind
of flower, and flowers differ from one another. Breathing in, I see
myself as a flower. Breathing out, I feel fresh.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh
