love love-is suffering
Love is to understand, at last, the suffering of another.
horse distance moving
Brooks too wide for our leaping, hedges far to high. Loads too heavy for our moving, burdens too cumbersome for us to bear. Distances far beyond our journeying. The horse gave us mastery.
horse children dad
The child who ran weeping to you with a cut finger is now brought home, smiling gamely, with a broken collarbone and incredible contusions- 'it wasn't Jezebels fault, Dad.'
clever dad father
Dads don't need to be tall and broad-shouldered and clever. Love makes them so.
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.
sister sorrow delight
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.
mother appreciation easter
You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother's Day card and school report since day one.
sister sibling thinking
A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.
relationship goodbye hurt
Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away- and leaves behind only silence.
nature spring lasts
For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.
artist self essentials
We have become a society where the artist is regarded as a self-indulgent superfluity, and the person who juggles stocks and shares is an essential part of the economy.
hope wisdom integrity
If you've only one breath left, use it to say thank you.
dark people ordinary
The courage of very ordinary people is all that stands between us and the dark.
sister heart rakhi
It's hard to be responsible, adult and sensible all the time. How good it is to have a sister whose heart is as young as your own.
