Quotes

I really want to write about what I've been doing the past two weekends, about helping out with hurricane relief, but for some reason I just haven't found the motivation or the right words or something.

So I think I'll just leave you with some good quotes. I really can't be expected to do more, there's quite the thunderstorm outside (and I haven't really experienced one of those since over a year ago).

"Wild women will be the first ones the Lord gonna learn how to fly." ~Ida Carr

"Perhaps the past is never really gone, but always a part of the present. Lingering there in the quietness, I gathered up the people, the places, the little fragments of another time." ~Helen Thames Raley

"Sometimes visible, sometimes not, sometimes devout Christians, sometimes staunchly Jewish. Until our inner love fits into everyone, all we can do is take daily these different shapes." ~Rumi

"As you get older, it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary." ~Ernest Hemingway

"We all have some kind of gene that makes us want to complicate our lives." ~My other best friend

"Lord, grant us passage through these and all our other transitions, teach us to befriend our own unsightly edges so that we may better befriend others, and keep us alive in imagination and courage of heart, that we may so pass through things temporal that we lose not the things eternal." ~Gail Godwin
