ProfessionWriter
friendship distance war
Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.
christmas fun perfect
We expect too much at Christmas. It's got to be magical. It's got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love's the thing. The rest is tinsel.
family mother heart
For the sake of the sons - and even for the son's future wives - a woman must keep a part of her mind and heart entirely for herself. Every family is better off with a wife and mother who can astonish and occasionally dewilder.
encouraging baby fall
The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.
uplifting dream grief
Music speaks of Platonic truth - the ideal river rather than the polluted reality, love as we dream it rather than we experience it, grief noble and uplifting rather than our distracted weeping. It is necessary to our survival and our sanity.
dog heart joy
A dog wakens your heart to joy and companionship.
integrity glasses reassuring
Integrity rings like fine glass. True, clear, and reassuring.
cat fighting men
A cat is a regency gentleman--elegant of pose, exquisite of manner, with spotless linen and an enthusiasm for bare knuckle fights, rampaging love affairs, duels by moonlight and the singing of glees. He expects immaculate service from his domestic staff, and possesses a range of invective that would make a navy blanch.
garden world fruit
The work of a garden bears visible fruits-in a world where most of our labours seem suspiciously meaningless.
wise mother grandma
Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
horse sense-of-humor equine
Be wary of the horse with a sense of humor.
religious dog animal
If there is a heaven, it's certain our animals are to be there. Their lives become so interwoven with our own, it would take more than an archangel to detangle them.
sister sorrow delight
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.
beautiful stars memories
A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.
