It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.

...the human spirit knows, deep down that all lives intersect.

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.

Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.

If we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love, and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of ‘I could have, I should have’. We can sleep in a storm. And when its time, our goodbyes will be complete.

I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life.

Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.
