i think i'm tired

No my friend, darkness is not everywhere, for here and there I find faces illuminated from within; paper lanterns among the dark trees.
- Carole Borges

for the past while there have been random fireworks going of by my house. i don't know why. and i don't even know why i wrote that. i think i'm tired. 

love all your life. dance all your life. sing all your life. smile all your life. play all your life. laugh all your life. trust all your life. pray all your life. live all your life. <3

children tend to be sticky

Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.  ~Fran Lebowitz

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child.  There are seven million.  ~Walt Streightiff

love

love is patient. love is kind.  it does not envy. it does not boast. it is not proud. it is not rude. it is not self seeking. it is not easily angered. and it keeps no records of wrong. 


1 Corinthians 13:4ish


dude, if we were all exactly like that this world we would be so good. no honking car horns. no school bullies. no green monsters. no feeling less than others. no students yelling at teachers. more sharing. no fist fights. and the last one, 'it keeps no records of wrong'. i mean most of us don't have a journal the writes down every bad thing someone did to us. but we sort of do in our heads. like do you ever get it when you'll have a dream say your brother did something mean to you. then you'll wake up and be mad at him, and get annoyed when you see him. then you're like, wait, what am i mad about again? then you're like, 'oh. nice one. sorry kid but that was a dream'. i think we all have something inside us that reminds us of all those bad things, but why can't we just erase them and forgive. we need more forgiveness. 


really, to put it simple, we all just need more love. but thankfully, we've got this overflowing fountain of it. well more like a saviour who is just covered in this love stuff. it's like oozing out of him and falling on us. seriously, let it soak in nice and good, don't block it with that ugly umbrella named hate. Jesus wants to just cover us in his love, so why not let him?


'all you need is love' -quote a beetles song. God is love. so yes. all we need is love. 

make a trail

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

make your own trail. live your own life. go on an adventure. adventure can be anywhere, so go stake a claim on your own. adventure happens the moment you set foot out of that door of yours. in fact it sometimes happens inside that door.go, live your life, make a trail, and hop onto a ship and sail away to unknown worlds and islands. you never know what may happen.
