hurt thinking two
I used to think if you fell from grace it was more likely than not the result of one stupendous error, or else an unfortunate accident. I hadn't learned that it can happen so gradually you don't lose your stomach or hurt yourself in the landing. You don't necessarily sense the motion. I've found it takes at least two and generally three things to alter the course of a life: You slip around the truth once, and then again, and one more time, and there you are, feeling, for a moment, that it was sudden, your arrival at the bottom of the heap.
community love musicians phoenix understand
It was a gift. They're really community heroes. And they're all musicians and have a love of music and understand what the Phoenix nurtures.
buzz phoenix possible radio
The big buzz at the Phoenix is about the possible radio station.
community incredible learn opportunity radio
It's an incredible opportunity for the community and an incredible opportunity for young people. There are a lot of things to learn while implementing a radio station.
rain fall night
There were so many miracles at work: that a blossom might become a peach, that a bee could make honey in its thorax, that rain might someday fall. I thought then about the seasons changing, and in the gray of night I could almost will myself to see the azure sky, the gold of the maple leaves, the crimson of the ripe apples, the hoarfrost on the grass.
strong forgiving weaving
It was about forgiving. I understood that forgiveness itself was strong, durable—like strands of a web weaving around us, holding us.
links chains bigs
It's all a big old chain. There isn't one unconnected link.
marriage determination site
In the end maybe what marriage offered was the determination of one's burial site.
days-off week persons
It is a rule of nature that taking a day off on the farm sets a person back at least a week.
time fate void
Our mission in life is not to discover our fate as we go along, or even to procreate, but rather to fill up the endless gray void that is time.
fighting challenges tasks
We're only passers-by, and all you can do is love what you have in your life. A person has to fight the meanness that sometimes comes with you when you're born, sometimes grows if you aren't in lucky surroundings. It's our challenge to fend it off, leave it behind us choking and gasping for breath in the mud. It's our task to seek out something with truth for us, no matter if there is a hundred-mile obstacle course in the way, or a ramshackle old farmhouse that binds and binds.
want impossible kind
It was impossible not to admire him, not to want to do something to contain that kind of beauty- drink him, ingest him, sneak into his shirt and hide for the rest of one's natural life.
strong moving blood
I had forgotten what it was like, to be drawn to a person...I'd forgotten how your blood flows toward a person when they move, so that all at once you know what the pull of gravity feels like. and you know that this is something strong and important, something that you need for life, this woman moving through the room.
children heart naughty
The magical descriptions of Italy and hilarious observations about love, travel, natives and foreigners in Love in Idleness are but a few of its many pleasures. Amanda Craig has created a hot shimmery climate in which a cast of old friends, quirky family members and naughty children who make love potions come to know themselves and their hearts. A delightful brew.
