"poetic verse to me, is like arms reaching out and giving me a hug, when the words embrace you... it is like being touched by someone elses soul... sparks fly and i am enlightened and I feel like i have been enveloped by their story and their beating heart" ~m 6/26/08

Sometimes when we think God isn't answering or we think he isn't listening, we need to stop and see if we have gotten in the way of His plans for us.

Whoever loves... becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.

There is more to us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less. ~Kurt Hahn

"in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web . . . but real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination. and although my stories are imaginary, i like to think that there is some truth in them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act." E.B.White

"you can't be at the pole and the equator at the same time. you must choose your own line,as i hope to do, and it will probably be color." ~ Vincent Van Gogh

"among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. you're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. you'll learn from them - if you want to. just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. it's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. and it isn't education. it's history. it's poetry." mr. antolini,
the catcher in the rye

St. Francis Prayer
--------------------------------
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
