The Wise Words of Humanity

Life is a gift. It is a challenging gift, though, full of fears and dangers, and in order to deal with these problems, we are provided with a few tools, not the least of which being hope. Hope and kindness to each other, hope and kindness and truth.  Truth is often heard from those wiser than ourselves, the quotes we cherish in our hearts to light the way for us when we need them the most.

Some Words Can Set You Free...

Some words can block us from being in harmony with the world - words of hate, of desperation, of sadness and regret. These words can trap us, scare us from daring to live our lives the way we really want to lead them. Sometimes they were said by a parent, sometimes a friend or a loved one, and sometimes by someone who wanted to hurt us. Believe it or not, words have power.


But it goes both ways - words that harm us can also heal us, can free us from the chains we put on ourselves and give us new direction. Read these words carefully and meditate on them, maybe they will prove helpful.

Simon Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Life is full of twists and turns. We will all experience many highs and moments of great happiness, but there will inevitably be periods when we experience pain, sadness and tougher times. It is in those moments that we find comfort in those closest to us. We all look for that special person who is prepared to reach out a helping hand and ease our troubles with love and support.

Simon Garfunkel's much loved classic 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' captures these emotions perfectly. Released in 1970, it features one of Art Garfunkel's best vocals and its simple message is one with which we can all identify. We invite you to enjoy this timeless, beautiful song and the accompanying lyrics sheet. Scroll slowly and enjoy the sights and sounds.
