Quotes
"Never be at the airport when your ship comes in."
"You either get your butt kicked or you are a butt-kicker."
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body. Rather, one should skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow!! What a ride!'"

G. K. Chesterton
“How much larger your life would be if your self could become smaller in it; if you could really look at other men [and women] with common curiosity and pleasure. … You would break out of this tiny and tawdry theatre in which your own little plot is always being played, and you would find yourself under a freer sky, and in a street full of splendid strangers.”
The Wings of a Butterfly
Softly they lie
On the palm of my hand
The wings of a butterfly
Lightly caressing
Colors so rare
Wings delicately fine
Move with a flutter
Now they are mine
There is much in my power
Save or destroy
Clasp them up tightly
Release and enjoy
Control and dominion
Freedom in flight
The choice is mine
To have or to hold
Holding means losing
And having, let go

Dreaming of Summer
Summer! Summer! Please come fast
This winter snow just seems to last
I'm sad inside and all bogged down
My lips they wear a sad, sad frown
I want the sun and flowers too
To see the birds fly in the blue
The hope is there within my reach
A lesson life is trying to teach
Loving life through darkest day
With greater joy in brightest May
Through patience I am taugh to wait
Until I pass through Summer's gate
The dream's still there but I'm not blind
It's hope that I'm required to find
