"Mom you will NEVER guess what my teacher said at school today." "What?" "We are studying money, again , and she said money was one of the most important things to know about. Money makes the world go round." (Staring with disbelief and what may have been disgust.) "Can you believe that. I mean, hello, GRAVITY makes the world go round... Love makes the world go round... Peace might help the world go round. But MONEY??? Money definitely does not make the world go round." ---Quote by Owen Reed Jennings, age 8, August 25,2008

"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." Vincent Van Gogh

There can be no greater accomplishment than to open your heart to the world and in so doing, reflect, however briefly, a truth worth believing in.

I used to think the world was filled with terrifying unknowns, and now I think the world is full of possibilities too brilliant to comprehend.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold: and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price. ---Khalil Gibran

Prayer to the Bodhisattva by Rabindranath Tagore Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved but hope for patience to win my freedom.
