[At] times we have to grab life with both hands, and twist and squeeze and wrench just to extract one sweet drop from this world: But oh how sweet, how nourishing and wholesome, when we discover that even a drop of joy and beauty and hope is possible.

We are most ourselves, the most human, when we unabashedly immerse ourselves in the world with love and hope, gratitude and kindness.

To live completely is a felt poetic.

We have at our fingertips, access to so much meaning and promise, if we would only let ourselves see.
