We who choose to surround ourselves
with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the neccesary plan.... --- Irving Townsend --- "The Once Again Prince" |
"The measure of an enthusiasm must be taken between interesting events. It is between bites that the lukewarm angler loses heart."

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.” - Anonymous |

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
~ Elizabeth Gilbert, "Eat, Pray, Love |
Forgiveness does not equal forgetting. It is about healing the memory of the harm, not erasing it.
~Ken Hart |
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
~Norman Schwarzkopf |
“Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear”
Thomas Jefferson Translation to current day Question the very existence of a supreme being, for if there is one, they must rather have people who question them and use logic.... then follow something blindly out of fear." |
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.~Buddha

"Racism does not limit itself to biology or economics or psychology or metaphysics; it attacks along many fronts and in many forms, deploying whatever is at hand, and even what is not, inventing when the need arises." |
Everywhere being nowhere,
who can prove one place more than another? We come back emptied, to nourish and resist the words of coming to rest: birthplace, roofbeam, whitewash, flagstone, hearth like unstacked iron weights afloat among galaxies. - Seamus Heaney |
