If I had it to do again, I would less often judge myself and more often ask for a jury.

People are resilient. After all, every person born has recovered from nine months on life support.

Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it.

No matter how reclusive we tend to be, we picture the after-life as a community of souls. It is one thing to seek privacy in this life; it is another to face eternity alone.

Those who avoid the tough choices of life, live a life they never chose.

God sends the dawn that we might see the might-have-beens that still might be.

In the end there doesn't have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.
