One of Christine's favorite quotes is:"O Me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.
-Walt Whitman
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance...
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids...
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....
God...how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
Trying to change our nightmares to dreams...
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time.

ngelou, "In and Out of Time"
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. - Plato
I bear witness, O my God,
that Thou hast created me to know Thee
and to worship Thee.
I testify, at this moment,
to my powerlessness and to Thy might,
to my poverty and to Thy wealth.
There is none other God but Thee,
The Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
baha'i - short obligatory prayer - bahá'u'lláh
- Out of clutter, find simplicity.
From discord, find harmony.
In the middle of difficulty,
Find opportunity.
-Albert Einstein
Great is thy faithfulness, oh God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto to me!
-Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
-Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.
-Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
-Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
-A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
-Drag your thoughts away from your troubles… by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it.
-The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
-Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover
- words of wisdom from Mark Twain :)
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Albert Einstein
Out of the night that covers me
black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
my head is bloody, but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade
and yet the menace of the years
finds, and shall find me, unafraid
It matters not how strait the gate
how charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
"Invictus,"
by William Earnest Henley".
