Tears

I always knew I would look back at the times we cried and laugh, but I never knew I would look back at the times we laughed and cry.  – Unknown

The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins.

-- Heywood Brown

…there’s more to life than death, isn’t there?   -Barbara Delinsky 

Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words.            - Rainer Maria Rilke

Black Elk speaks p.1

“. . .for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow?”

p.2

“. . . it is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost.”

“I figure its okay to call it making love because making it isn’t the same as being in it, which is about your brains, as far as I can understand.  If you’re not in love, your body might feel the same as if you were, but your brain’s out there in the cold, a little orphan, watching the warm room with the books and the fireplace through a window.   - Judith Rossner
