We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.

We all have that possibility, that potential and that promise of seeing beyond the seeming.

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But I like - if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.
