My secret agenda is to convey my values to my kids.

Once you know where the roller coaster is going, are you in for the ride?

Everything we can imagine becomes real.

Infinite possibility in all things is a certainty. That pretty much covers theology and philosophy for me.

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

The gift was not large as money goes, and my need was not great, but the spirit of the gift is beyond price and leaves me blessed and in debt.
