Lord keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.

I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

Putting down on paper what you have to say is an important part of writing, but the words and ideas have to be shaped and cleaned, cleaned as severely as a dog cleans a bone, cleaned until there's not a shred of anything superfluous.

Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.

I think the more we know the better we are. I mean not just facts. The more we know about each other, the closer we are to learn something about our selves.
