“The best way to predict your future is to create it
So believe in your dream.
Never throw it away.
Believe in the dream, even when it appears impossible.
Believe in the stars, even when they’re hidden in the storm.
Believe in love, even when you can’t find it or feel it.
Believe in faith, even when God is silent.
So turn your hurts into halos…
and your deepest scars into the brightest stars.
And when it’s time eventually to take your last breath
you will come to the end of your journey
with pride behind you, love around you and hope ahead of you.”

– Benediction from Coretta Scott King’s funeral by Robert H Schuller, founding pastor, Chrystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, California (and slightly adapted by Craig)A SHORT EXTRACT FROM THE AWAKENED SPIRIT (2002 …

“WHERE DO WE FIND PEACE? PEACE IS IN THE ROSY SOFTNESS OF A NEW DAWN BREAKING. IT’S THE SOUND OF THE WIND ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN PEAK, THE QUIET AND MYSTICAL BEAUTY OF A SNOW-FLAKE DRIFTING SILENCE DOWNWARD TO A LAND BLANKETED IN WHITE. PEACE IS THE ELUSIVE KINGDOM OF THE SOUL.”
