before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb,

you must believe that your life matters.

And, before you can feel unity with,
and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.

There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.

added up all together

Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.
- Neale Donald Walsch
