We all arrive on Earth with a round-trip ticket.

People aren't wired to be alone. Even in the stressful population of prison, solitary confinement is still considered a cruel punishment.

As a boy I heard this story in church. A man was patching a pitched roof of a tall building when he began sliding off. As he neared the edge of the roof he prayed, "Save me, Lord, and I'll go to church every Sunday, I'll give up drinking, I'll be the best man this city has ever known." As he finished his prayer, a nail snagged onto his overalls and saved him. The man looked up to the sky and shouted, "Never mind, God. I took care of it myself." How true of us.

Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.

Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured images of themselves.

The greatest shackles we bear in thislife are those forged by our own fears

Things that seem bad at the time are really blessings.
