Ann Arbor, MI USA Today?
..from too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free.
I thank with deep thanksgiving
Whatever gods there be
That no life lives forever
That dead men rise up never
That even the weariest river
Winds sometime safe to sea. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA I have lots of them, mostly song lyrics, but the one that sticks in my mind most often is this line from "New Nathan Detroits" by Braid ( http://www.prairienet.org/braid )... There's something inside like a conscience that says/ you're painting floors while your pals are renaming the stars/ get up, get up/ and go do what you started/ if you want to be a martyr, try harder... It relates to me and my life way too much to NOT stick in my head sometimes... Maggie, 22
Sandwich, IL USA The fruit of silence is prayer
