We were a strange little band of characters

trudging through life

and toothpaste,

coveting one another's desserts,

hiding shampoo,

borrowing money,

locking each other out of our rooms,

inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant,

loving,

laughing,

defending,

and trying to figure out

the common thread

that bound us all

together."

Every Grain of Sand

I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
And every time I pass that way

I always hear my name
Then onward in my journey

I come to understand
That every hair is numbered

like every grain of sand.

I have gone from rags to riches

in the sorrow of the night
In the violence of a summer's dream,

in the chill of wintry light
In the bitter dance of loneliness

fading into space
In the broken mirror of innocence

on each forgotten face.

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion

of the sea
Sometimes I turn,

there's someone there,

at other time it's me
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
Like every sparrow falling,

like every grain of sand.

You live in the world created by your mind.
Your rapture and joy,
your sorrow and pain,
are all your own creations.
They are dependent upon your perceptions
and core beliefs
for their very existence.
Most people live in a world of darkness.
But there is another world,
bathed in the light of love.
You can live in this world if you choose,
by the virtue of grace.
The rent to live there is forgiveness,
self-discipline
and accepting your worth.
Forget everything you think you are,
and stand in the light
of who you really are.

So say we all …”

"A wind has blown
the rain away
and blown the sky away
and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.
I think,
I too,
have known autumn too long."

"To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air
and the water
exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk
or an evening saunter...
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird's nest
or a wildflower in spring -
these are some of the rewards
of the simple life."

~John Burroughs

"I am often accused of being childish.

I prefer to interpret that as
child-like.
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things.
I tend to exaggerate
and fantasize
and embellish.
I still listen to instinctual urges.
I play with leaves.
I skip down the street
and run against the wind.
I never water my garden without soaking myself.
It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity
and produced my best work."

~Leo F. Buscaglia

We have a choice every day -
to act on yesterday's good intentions
or get an early start
on tomorrow's regrets.

"Anyone can carry his burden,
however hard,
until nightfall.
Anyone can do his work,
however hard,
for one day.
Anyone can live sweetly,
patiently,
lovingly,
purely,
till the sun goes down.
And this is all life really means."

~Robert Louis Stevenson

"While there is
perhaps
a province
in which the photograph
can tell us nothing more
than what we see with our own eyes,
there is another
in which it proves to us
how little our eyes permit us to see."

"I have always
a sacred veneration
for anyone I observe
to be
a little out of repair in his person,
as supposing him either
a poet
or a philosopher."
