There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34247]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt is part of all religion.
