A Thought for Today
I'll stand up to anyone in my praise for this president and what he has done for the country.
Rod has the day off.

We'd salvage much and save on doctor bills, if we paused to read instructions.
Everything we do or say must be considered as only a moment in a continuing tradition; otherwise tradition dies.
We may have come a long way, but we will always have a longer way to go.

WHY LOVE |
|
It is not just for our own good pleasure
that we come to love each other,
discovering the differences
divining the sameness that finally tell us
what we truly are: selfish in our needs
yet willing to give everything
so that we might please our God
not just each other.
For the desperate God is not the father
but the waiting arms of love.
Love, as simple as we see it
on the outside, as complicated
as it soon becomes at closer quarters.
I believe no animal or man,
nothing that depends on contact
within the universe we know
beds down with another of it's kind
in the absence of love.
Some thing not always something
has to swell the heart
to make things work.
Who among us has come away from love
with nothing but a self-reward?
What is left behind,
what sticks and stays
as we move on
is the part of us that's best.
If we ever wish to see
the best side of ourselves
the side unselfish, unafraid,
then we must learn to love.
- from "The Beautiful
Strangers", 1981 |
