Biologically adults produce children. Spiritually children produce adults. Most of us do not grow up until we have helped children do so. Thus generations form a braided cord. (George F Will)
Before spring becomes beautiful it is ugly nothing but mud and muck. I love the fact that the word humus-the decayed vegetable matter that feeds plants comes from the same root that gives ride to the word humility. It helps me understand that the humiliating events of life the events that leave 'mud on my face' or that ' make my name mud, ' may create the fertile soil in which something new can grow. (Parker Palmer)
Life is easier to take than you would think; all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable and bear the intolerable. (Kathleen Norris)
