    Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world;
    A star at dawn,
    A bubble in a stream,
    A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
    A flickering lamp,
    A phantom,
    A dream... Sakyamuni-Budda Diamond Sutra

    Love,peace and sweet dreams to all...xoxo,Patti

    Make me strong in spirit,
    Courageous in action,
    Gentle of heart,

    Let me act in wisdom,
    Conquer my fear and doubt,
    Discover my own hidden gifts,

    Meet others with compassion,
    Be a source of healing energies,
    And face each day with hope and joy.
    - Abby Willowroot

    Let us keep open the connections whereby the human spirit may freely move between the arts and the sciences and thus make more of each.
    May we thus become better violinists, scientists, artists, writers, and above all...better human beings by enlarging and enriching our personal needs to include each other's.

    " It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up-- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had."

    Doubt sees the obstacles;
    Faith sees the way.
    Doubt sees the darkest night;
    Faith sees the day.
    Doubt dreads to take a step;
    Faith soars on high.
    Doubt questions 'who believes?';
    Faith answers, 'I.

    It's okay to have days when you're scared to death, and cry and cry, and it's okay to distance yourself from friends, family and even God. Just remember the next day will be better, your family and friends will help you through everything, and God will never leave your side. _ Jeanie Graham
