Life Is What You Put Into It

No, I Got A Ged In My 30s. My Kids Know That I Never Stop Learning, And They Know I Love Reading. I Have Books Overflowing Everywhere. I Am Current On Today's Events And I Read The Paper Every Day, And We Talk About It, So They See That Appetite.

The Thing That Brings People To Wail At A Wall, Or Face Mecca, Or To Go To Church, Is A Search For That Feeling Of Purity.

I Can't Be Smug, Because I Know That You Can Lose Anything At Any Point. And I Can't Be Angry, Because I Haven't Lost It.

One's Dignity May Be Assaulted, Vandalized And Cruelly Mocked, But Cannot Be Taken Away Unless It Is Surrendered.

When Something Enters Your Life That Is So Big And So Non-negotiable As Catastrophic Illness, You Either Go In Denial For A While Or Ultimately You Accept It And You Make Space For It. And In Making Space For It, You Illuminate A Lot Of Things That You Normally Don't Have Room For You Simply Just Look At The World Differently.
