Love is never convenient-and rarely painless.
Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we’ve opened their cage.
We are chained to that which we do not forgive.
There are people I’ve yet to meet who are waiting for my path to intersect with theirs, so they can complete their own journeys. I don’t know who or where they are, but I know for certain that they are waiting.
I think the secret to a hoppy life is a selective memory. Remember what you are most grateful for and quickly forget what your not.
A man’s worth isn’t measured by a bank register or diploma... It’s about integrity.
We can deny reality, but we can’t deny the consequences of denying reality.
I don’t know what is behind the curtain; only that I need to find out.
The sum of the day was truly greater than its parts.
Deep in our hearts everyone walks free.
It’s been said that parents should give their children roots and wings. That was a perfect description of my parents. Even in a wheelchair, my father was a dreamer with his head in the clouds and my mother was the roots with both feet planted firmly on terra quaking firma.
The natives used to tie their enemies to the tree. The ants would eat them alive.
The price of happiness is the risk of losing it.
The more I study history the more I realize how little mankind has changed. There are no new scripts, just different actors.
Grief isn’t a luxury; it’s an appropriate response to loss. You don’t just will it away. If you allow it to run its course, it will fade with time, but if you ignore it or pretend it doesn’t exist, it only gets worse.
One day McKenna got hot enough.
Sometimes our cruelest acts come not from meaning to do wrong but from not trying hard enough not to.
I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life. There are others, fellow sojourners, whose journeys are interwoven with ours in seemingly random patterns, yet, in the end, have been carefully placed to reveal a remarkable tapestry. I believe God is the weaver at that loom.
Forgiveness does not require us to close our eyes but rather to truly open them.
There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives.
