Togetherness

Let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

- Khalil Gibran

Let me be something

“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life.

Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm.

Let me be hungry...have too much to eat.

Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful.

Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin.

Only let me be something every blessed minute.

And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”

- Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Life is like the weather

Weather is a great metaphor for life - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and there's nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella.

Vacation time

A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort, and remembered with nostalgia.
