I had to clear up my messy life. By letting go of the debris and filth, I have come to a deeper, more soulful beauty and clarity like an oasis in the desert. From that place of clarity, a vision of what I could have, what I could do, who I could be has emerged if I allow my heart to become a place of compassion, acceptance and forgiveness. Sharon E. Rainey
About This Quote

From that place of clarity, a vision of what they could have, what they could do, who they could be has emerged if they allow their heart to become a place of compassion, acceptance and forgiveness.
