I Have Heard It Said That Winter,

I Love Living. I Love That I'm Alive To Love My Age. There Are Many People Who Went To Bed Just As I Did Yesterday Evening And Didn't Wake This Morning. I Love And Feel Very Blessed That I Did. I Love, Too, That I Know A Little More Today Than I Did Yesterday, Or I Simply Know It More Profoundly.

I Can Be Changed By What Happens To Me. But I Refuse To Be Reduced By It.

I Believe That The Most Important Single Thing, Beyond Discipline And Creativity Is Daring To Dare.

Lift Up Your Eyes Upon This Day Breaking For You. Give Birth Again To The Dream. Women, Children, Men, Take It Into The Palms Of Your Hands. Mold It Into The Shape Of Your Most Private Need. Sculpt It Into The Image Of Your Most Public Self. Lift Up Your Hearts Each New Hour Holds New Chances For A New Beginning.

If Our Children Are To Approve Of Themselves, They Must See That We Approve Of Ourselves.
