accomplish ahead belief energy excitement ideas infinitely larger miles mind renewal thoughts
I am miles ahead with ideas and excitement in the mind, and that is where it all begins. I feel that when I get myself organized, and am in one place long enough, I will have so much energy of mind and belief that I will be able to accomplish infinitely more. My thoughts will be larger and clearer, and with a renewal of life.
name
I'm not a big name at all. Not at all.

Maybe right and wrong did not move, but understanding of them did. The wrenching pain of walking the same path, even for a short space, tore away the willingness to judge.

People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin.
grieving people looks
Too many women waste their lives grieving because they do not have something other people tell them they should want. Whether you are happy or not depends to some degree upon outsward circumstances, but mostly it depends how you choose to look at thing syourself, whether you measure what you have or what you have not.
beauty pain kind
some kinds of beauty did not heal, but hollowed the pain even deeper.

I am now working on the second WWI story and find the challenge marvelous.
lying cleaners wounds
The truth can be very sharp. But it makes a cleaner wound than lies. It will not fester
couple war moving
I was born in London, England, in 1938, a few months before the war, and spent the first years of my life there, although I was evacuated a couple of times for short periods. My schooling was very interrupted, both by frequent moves and by ill health.
