I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. I don't see this as a good thing. The Chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the Chinese have embraced the same language and culture. I hope I am wrong about this, and that the flame is still on beneath the great American melting pot. Americans need each other, and a house divided, no matter the color of its occupants, is still divided. And divided we all fall.

Everyone has some inner power that awaits discovery.

. . . Harboring an emotion as powerful as gratitude has power of its own.

What a culture we live in, we are swimming in an ocean of information, and drowning in ignorance.

sometimes it's the fight that makes a thing worth having

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

Life is not a sprint. It was never meant to be. It is just a step of faith after another.
