“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author and Unitarian Universalist minister. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |

I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we're young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done
If we want a garden
We're gonna have to sow the seed
Plant a little happiness
Let the roots run deep
If it's love that we give
Then it's love that we reap
If we want a garden
We're gonna have to sow the seed
-- partial lyrics from "Crowded Table" by the Highwaywomen, 2019
The Highwomen is a country music supergroup composed of Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires, formed in 2019.

It will all come down to the moment that alarm goes off in the morning. Every single day you can wake up and what you decide to do, that's going to define who you are. ~Chris Powell _________________

I wonder what we will be like after this pandemic? But I really don't want to get “back to normal.” I hope that in facing my fear and anger and learning the new rules of social behaviors, there will arise within me a more willing spirit to [embrace] “us” rather than “me.”
–E. Eachus

“You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not never come your way
Dream it anyway”
-- These lyrics were from a song by Martina McBride, but may have been inspired by a poem from Mother Teresa (St. Teresa of Kolkata) _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |
