a new day
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt creep in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it well and serenely."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

While She Thinks
"While I thought, while I thought, and time stood still,
She would come to me, encouraging,
And tell me what to do
While I thought
While I thought, while I thought, time grew shorter,
She would come to me, nagging,
And tell me to do what I felt was right
While I thought
Now she thinks, thinks without me,
While time grows even shorter,
And I wish she would encourage and nag me again,
While she thinks"
~M. Williams

LOOK
"All I really need to know about how
to live and what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
Remember the Dick-and-Jane books
and the first word you learned -
the biggest word of all - LOOK."
~Robert Fulghum

not knowing
"I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next."

"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."

the sea rises
"For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."
~James Baldwin

faces
"Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend."
