And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings. &#8221;   </span></strong><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Buddha</span></strong></a></p>

<p><strong>The vacation is over. Perhaps, I needed a little break from my online obsessions. What I missed most while taking a break from Enlighten Your day was the comments and feedback from my readers. So today, I heard this quote that I felt compelled to share with my readers in hopes that you might have something to teach me about the questions I am putting forth, or maybe you just feel the desire to share something about this topic.</strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><strong>In addition, to compliment this post, I have added some enlightening Chinese<span style="color: #00ffff;"> <span style="color: #00ffff;"><a target="_blank" href="http://creativeproverbs.com/">proverbs</a></span></span><span style="color: #00ffff;"> </span>for your reading pleasure. I found the proverbs on a custom stationary website while doing some random googling.

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>“Calm in quietude is not real calm. When you can be calm in the midst of activity, this is the true state of nature.
