I believe that love is the choice we make to raise ourselves and others to the highest planes of existence.

Everybody needs love. Everybody. Those who don't believe that frighten me a little.

We plan our lives in long, unbroken stretches that intersect our dreams the way highways connect the city dots on a road map. But in the end we learn that life is lived in the side roads, alleys, and detours.

The truest indication of gratitude is to return what you are grateful for.

To deny our pasts is to burn the bridge we must cross to self-understanding.

The further along we get on our life journey the more we wonder about those who traveled before us and paved the road.

I believe that we were meant to live as social creatures, to reach out and bless each other's lives.
