Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.

natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.
- Albert Einstein

One does not feel lonely because one is alone,

one's sense of inherent worth.

Liar is a strong word, but we are all liars.
Not in the sense of intentionally speaking untruths,
but in the sense of carrying so much historical

is an untruth - an opinion, an assumption,
a point-of-view based on our past.
