“Watch carefully the magic that occurs when you give a person enough comfort to just be themselves.” ---Atticus

‘Does the sun promise to shine? No, but it will, even behind the darkest clouds it will, And no promise will make it shine longer or brighter for that is its fate, to burn until it can burn no more. So to love this world is not my promise, it is my fate, to burn for it until I can burn no more’

“Weeks passed, and the little Rabbit grew very old and shabby, but the Girl loved her just as much. She loved her so hard that she loved all her whiskers off, and the pink lining to her ears turned grey, and her brown spots faded. She even began to lose her shape, and she scarcely looked like a rabbit any more, except to the Girl. To her she was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about. She didn't mind how she looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made her Real, and when you are Real, shabbiness doesn't matter.”

“I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I'll say goodbye to Colorado Where I was born and partly raised Through this open world I'm a-bound to ramble Through ice and snow, sleet and rain Im a-bound to ride that mornin' railroad Perhaps I'll die upon that train Your mother says that I'm a stranger A face you'll never see no more But here's one promise to ya I'll see you on God's golden shore I'm a-goin' back to Colorado The place that I've started from If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me Babe, I never would have come”

---May you be showered with the gift of love!

“When he looked into her eyes, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke – the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love. Something older than humanity, more ancient than the desert. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. Because when you know the language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”
