one thing i learned in a long life,
that all our science, measured against reality,
is primitive and child like
and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

life changes every minute of everyday,
you lose friends. you gain friends
you realize your friend wasn't ever really your friend.
and that person you used to hate,
can make a really good friend. you look for love
you find love. you lose love. you realize
that all along you have been loved. you laugh. you cry.
you laugh so hard that you cry. you do this,
you do that. you really wish that you hadn't done that.
you learn from that and you are glad that you did.
you have your ups. you have your downs.
you see good movies, you see bad movies.
you look at others and wish you were them.
you then realize who they are and glad
that you're you. you love life. you hate life.
in the end, you just find yourself happy to be
living life, no matter whats thrown at you.

when one door closes, another one opens. but we often look so
long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do
not see the one that has opened for us
------alexander graham bell--------
we show hospitality to strangers not merely because they
need it, but because we need it, too. the stranger
at the door is the living symbol and the memory that we are all
strangers here. this is our house, our table, our food,
our lodging, this is god's house and the table and food and
lodging. we were pilgrims and wanders, aliens and strangers,
even enemies of god. but we too, were welcomed into this place.
to show hospitality to the stranger is, as gordon lathrop
has observed to say, " we are beggars here
together. grace will surprise us both."
--------thomas g long-------
time is very slow for those who wait. very fast for those who are scared.
very long for those who lament. very short for those who celebrate.
but for those who love, time is eternal.
------william shakespear--------
a smile doesn't always mean
a person is happy. sometimes it simply means
they are strong enough to face their problems.

i went to school. they asked me what
i wanted to be when i grow up. i wrote
down 'happy' they told me i didn't understand the
assignment. and i told them they didn't understand life.
--------john lennon------
if you want your story to be magnificent, begin by
realizing you are the author, and everyday is a new page.
