I've heard that if you look carefully at people's eyes the first five seconds they look at you, the truth of their feelings will shine through for just an instant before it flickers away..

P.S. It's true. :)

He said, " life, she won't be denied."

I will NEVER forget the five-year-old who said to me, "I talked to Jesus and he was nice. He told me it wasn't my time to die."

Her name was Lauren. She had been in the hospital, and out of school for a while, and then she came back. I was a senior in high school, and I had an ROP class that involves working with kids. I had to help her get caught up on some work, and she asked me if I wanted to know something special.

Interesting.

The past cannot be redeemed. What has been and what might have beend both bring us to what is.To know grief, we must be in the river of time, because grief thrives in the present and promises to be with us in the future until the end point. Only time conquers time and its burdens. There is no grief before or after time, which is all the consolation we need.

Nevertheless, I stood there, waiting, full of hope that was the wrong hope.

No Matter What..

You always miss a best friend.

Rocky mind.

Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on a beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk. As you think about more and more things, you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps. So you just sit and stare at the rough movements of the ocean waves, or security guards, thinking too hard about too many things to do anything else.

A thought.
