For you and I are sons of one religion,

his remedy in silence and tranquility.
- Khalil Gibran

is to move toward perfection.
March on, and fear not the thorns,
or the sharp stones on life's path.

Dream your dream to the sky
and it will bring you your beloved.

and you shall see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

and you would watch with serenity
through the winters of your grief.

inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration.

Some people stay for awhile,
and move our souls to dance.

leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
If we hold them too close, they break -

By honoring and enjoying
the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

May love and laughter light your days,

with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours.
- Irish Blessing

To the world you may be one person,
