That perfection knows nothing about wrong and right, good and bad, happy and sad. It knows only itself as Perfection. And you are That."
"There is no love like a mother’s - she who carries the child that God knits in the womb, she who nourishes and guides, she who teaches and inspires, she who gives of her heart and soul and self for the good and the happiness of her children and her family."
