Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.
Frederick Buechner
Things are always different than you anticipated when you finally get to them. Older years are certainly like that. Perhaps this is what John Lennon meant when he said that life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Let your spirit rise above,
And meet adversity
with love.
So in the end
you'll surely find,
Rewards of peace
In heart and mind.
Cloudia Charters
Selfishness & complaint
pervert the mind.
Love
with its joy
clears and sharpens
the vision.
Helen Keller
