Quotes! The world is full of them. Facebook, Twitter, your email inbox, probably chokka … sometimes it’s all a bit tooooo inspiring! And too inspiring can easily turn ho-hum.
But once or twice in a lifetime there’s something so powerful about a quote it stops you in your tracks. The words turn in your mind for days, even weeks … pertinent to your life. Arriving at a perfect juncture. A gift - from someone you’re unlikely to ever meet.
A quote of that significance must surely inspire us all to something! Here’s the one that did it for me …
‘Nobody can go back and start a new beginning. But anyone can start today and make a new ending’ – Maria Robinson.
Maria! There will be people creating new endings all over the place! Who knows what will happen? A new ending is opening up for Baby Boomer Girl already! A new home in a new town. Fantastic soil to grow organic veges in. New friends to make. New songs to write and musos to jam with… A life-changing, happy ending.
Has that ‘life-changing quote’ phenomenon happened to you? If so, everyone would love to hear about it – and yes, include the quote! ![]()
Meanwhile, enjoy the song …
A Happy Ending
(c) 2012 Radha Sahar
It all started with a quote on the wall
By chance, in a nearby cafe
The words, ‘You can’t go back
And make a new beginning
But anyone can start today
And make a new ending’ – That’s it!
We stare at each other and say
That day is here, and we can live it
Everything will fall into place somehow
It will all come clear. It will take our best. And we will give it
Yes! We’re starting a happy ending now
Thanks, Maria, for sayin’ those words
And putting them out there for me
I’ve never met you, but you’ve changed our lives
Permanently
Now lotsa little perfect quirky things happen
It’s the universe helping us see … that day is here …
When everything is stripped away
And you feel your soul laid bare
It seems all your efforts have come to nothing
But no – there’s still something there, my friend
It’s your beautiful humanity
And you have so much to share
That day is here, and we can live it
Everything will fall into place somehow
It will all come clear. It will take our best. And we will give it
Yes! We’re starting a happy ending
No more carting round burdens pretending
Yes! We’re starting a happy ending now!
Love it Radha!!! What inspiring thoughts.
