The hope to draw 9/17/2010

    Windflowers,windflowers my father told me not to go near them He said hold me not to go near them Hend he told me that they carried him away Windflowers,beartiful windflowersI couldn't wait to touch them to smell them I held them closely And now I cannot break away Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert So take a warning ,son Windflowers ,高光相纸 ancient windflowers their beauty capture every young dreamer who lingers near them But ancient windflowers, I love you If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about,don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; 数码印花机 If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

         If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;If you can bear to hear the truth you've spokenTwiseted by knaves to make a trap for fools,Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothin in you Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!";打印机墨水If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings -nor lose the common touch;If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty second' worth of distance run -Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!There were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that have nothing to do with looks. She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart.It is said that the true nature of being is veiled. The labor of words, the expression of art, the seemingly ceaseless buzz that is human thought all have in common the need to get at what really is so.

         The hope to draw close to and possess the truth of being can be a feverish one. 网店代理 I have thought about her often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition hurt her deeply.Would her life have been different had she been pretty? Chances are it would have. And yet there were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that had nothing to do with looks. She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart. Her words came from a wounded but loving heart, very much like all hearts, but she had more of a need to be aware of it, t网店代理o live with it and learn from it. She possessed a fine-tuned sense of beauty. Her only fear in life was the loss of a friend.How long does it take most of us to reach that level of human growth, if we ever get there? We get so consumed and diminished, worrying about all the things that need improving, we can easily forget to cherish those things that last.

The young person 9/17/2010

        In some cases it can even be fatal, if pleasure is one's truth and its attainment more important than life itself. In other lives, though, the search for what is truthful gives life.I used to find notes left in the collection basket, beautiful notes about my homilies and about the writer's thoughts on the daily scriptural readings. The person who penned the notes would add reflections to my thoughts and would always include some quotes from poets and mystics he or she had read and remembered and loved.The notes fascinated me.男装批发 Here was someone immersed in a search for truth and beauty. Words had been treasured, words that were beautiful. And I felt as if the words somehow delighted in being discovered, forthey were obviously very generous to the as yet anonymous writer of the notes. And now this person was in turn learning the secret of sharing them. Beauty so shines when given away. The only truth that exists is, in that sense, free.It was a long time before I met the author of the notes.One Sunday morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in the office.

         The young person who answered the rectory door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no idea that it was she who wrote the notes. 女装批发She was sitting in a chair in the office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and the skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her. She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths that had so marred her face.We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for lunch later that week.As it turned out we went to lunch several times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. 太阳能工程I think that treatments of some sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask.We spoke of authors we both had read, and it was easy to tell that books are a great love of hers.

         Friendship, so rare and so good, just needs our care--maybe even the simple gesture of writing a little note now and then, or the dropping of some beautiful words in a basket, in the hope that such beauty will be shared and taken to heart.ce认证The truth of her life was a desire to see beyond the surface for a glimpse of what it is that matters. She found beauty and grace and they befriended her, and showed her what is real.One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer’soffice.传奇私服 Apparently, they are there to file a divorce. Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story.This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over years of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing.
