    “Come to the edge.”
    “We can't. We're afraid.”
    “Come to the edge.”
    “We can't. We will fall!”
    “Come to the edge.”
    And they came.
    And he pushed them.
    And they flew.

    Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918

    I read and walked for miles at night along the beach,
    writing bad blank verses
    and searching endlessly for someone wonderful
    who would step out of the darkness
    and change my life.

    It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
    Anna Quindlen

    "We may run

    walk

    stumble

    drive

    or fly

    along the way

    never loose sight

    of the reason for the journey

    or miss a chance to "see" a rainbow on the way." ~Gloria Gaither~





    Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.

    Margaret Atwood

    Only as high as I reach can I grow,
    Only as far as I seek can I go,
    Only as deep as I look can I see,
    Only as much as I dream can I be.

    "The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship"...Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Hapiness cannot be traveled to,
    owned, earned, worn, or
    consumed. Happiness is the
    spiritual experience of living
    every minute with love, grace
    and gratitude ...

    Difficult times
    have helped me to understand better than before,
    how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...-- Isak Dinesen


    Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. -- Buddha

    The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work.


    There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
    [Albert Einstein]

    With the modern diseases (once TB, now cancer) the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease - because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses...Susan Sontag

    A hug is a great gift. One size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange.

    "Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued
    is always just beyond your grasp, but which,
    if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

    "Nothing that grieves us can be called little:
    by the eternal laws of proportion
    a child's loss of a doll
    and a king's loss of a crown
    are events of the same size."

    The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life... Robert Louis Stevenson

    Believe in the impossible, hold tight to the incredible, and live each day to its fullest potential. You can make a difference in your world.

    The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.
