perhaps she won't suffer the way
people do when they have a dream to follow.

and at some point everyone look back -
she will hear her heart, saying,

that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"

"May I tell you how it is for me?"
When I ask the question, it means waiting
for the invitation to share.
It also means being prepared for my friend to say,
"No." They don't want to know.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints.

there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally
that what is the need to look back again and again?
He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.

to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.
