Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.
The reaction is, "This must be the one.
They are so perfect - the match of my dreams."

was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.

can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley

When we come into the present,
we begin to feel the life around us again,

everything that moves us most deeply.
- Jack Kornfield

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world

The chain reaction of evil -

into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

The full measure of a man is
not to be found in the man himself,

come alive in others because of him.

I am the owner of my choices.
I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold...
regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess
that particular perspective.
It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses.
I will look into that mirror little bits at a time.

This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.

the fruit will be all the sweeter for this touch of holiness.

with laughter at your predicaments,
thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
