dream cities long
We plan our lives in long, unbroken stretches that intersect our dreams the way highways connect the city dots on a road map. But in the end we learn that life is lived in the side roads, alleys, and detours.
animal feelings cages
Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we've opened their cage
dream rain choices
Life is the soil, our choices and actions the sun and rain, but our dreams are the seeds.
stars regret believe
If the errors of my life have profited me one great truth it is this: believe. Believe in your destiny and the star from which it shines. Believe you have been sent from God as an arrow pulled from his own bow. It is the single universal trait which the great of this earth have all shared, while the shadows are fraught with ghosts who roam the winds with mournful wails of regret on their lips. Believe as if your life depended upon it, for indeed it does.

It is better to be loved by one person who knows your soul than millions who don't even know your phone number.

We spend our life building higher fences and stronger locks, when the gravest dangers are already inside
adversity greatest-gifts
Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity.

Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured images of themselves.
determination work self
Some people were born to work for others. Not in a mindless, servile-way--rather they simply work better in a set regimen of daily tasks and functions. Others were born of the entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy the demands of self-determination and the roll of the dice.
believe love-is choices
I believe that love is the choice we make to raise ourselves and others to the highest planes of existence.
firsts loses
We can only lose what we have first claimed.
tests who-we-are strange
There are moments, it would seem, that were created in cosmic theater where we are given strange and fantastic tests. In these times, we do not show who we are to God, for surely He must already know, but rather to ourselves.
heartache denial humans
Denial, perhaps, is a necessary human mechanism to cope with the heartaches of life.
