A lifetime may not be long enough to attune ourselves fully to the harmony of the universe. But just to become aware that we can resonate with it -- that alone can be like waking up from a dream.

A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.

Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness, and gratefullness is a measure of our aliveness.

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.

Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

I don't care where you are, but the fans only remember your last time at bat.

It can therefore be said that, from the viewpoint of the doctrine of the faith, there are no difficulties in explaining the origin of man in regard to the body, by means of the theory of evolution.

School is cool. Thats why it rhymes

When things get difficult it can be easy to complain. How you respond makes all the difference

Just keep challenging yourself. I think that's a great thing.
