I hope you find value in these encouraging quotes about Intends.
Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
If we hold them too close, they break -
as a butterfly would.
By honoring and enjoying
the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

The Master speaks more directly,
"If you want something done,
just relax, and see it as being done.

He answers, "then deeply examine your intentions."
