I've always said I have one skill. That skill - if I have it at all - is storytelling.
Every life has one true love snapshot.
We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
When you are measuring life, you are not living it.
But common sense has no place in first love and never has.
Personally, I always wondered about authors and celebrities who loudly declared there was no God. It was usually when they were healthy and popular and being listened to by crowds. What happens, I wondered, in the quiet moments before death? By then, they have lost the stage, the world has moved on. If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know?
But you grab a moment, or you let it pass.
There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage... Your values must be alike. And the biggest one of those values, Mitch?" Yes? "Your belief in the importance of your marriage.
Learn what you do not know. Understand the consequences of counting the moments.
What will you do with the time you have left?
Something is always happening somewhere.
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" from the book of Isaiah
No matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be.
It's always difficult to watch someone you love die.
