Inspiration

I found the world to be
woefully lacking
in safe places.
So I became one.

- J. Warren Welch

If I can throw a single ray of light across the darkened pathway of another;
If I can aid some soul to clearer sight of life and duty, and thus bless my brother;
If I can wipe from any human cheek a tear,
I shall not have lived my life in vain while here.

If I can guide some erring one to truth, inspire within his heart a sense of duty;
If I can plant within my soul of rosy youth a sense of right, a love of truth and beauty;
If I can teach one man that God and heaven are near,
I shall not then have lived in vain while here.

When you think there's no hope left, remember the lobsters in the tank at the Titanic's restaurant.

Grief isn't meant to be a cage - it's meant to be a door. A passage, not a prison. A bridge, not a wall. So, let the tears fall when they come. Let the laughter rise when memories bring warmth. And let sorrow and joy exist side by side, for they are not opposites - they are just love in different forms.
