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

Image: Neta Bartal

“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 beautiful definition of aging

Image: Dave Morrow

For age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress,

and as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is filled with stars,

invisible by day.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What life is all about

While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

Daydreaming is good for you!

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
