GOD Has a Reason

Behind every trial and every sorrow that He makes us shoulder, GOD has a reason.
— Mullah Faizullah (from “A Thousand Splendid Suns” written by Khaled Hosseini)

L O V E

Love is better than wisdom,
and more precious that riches,
and fairer than the feet of
the daughters of men.
The fires cannot destroy it,
nor can true water quench it…
— The Fisher and His Soul (Oscar Wilde)

Life is very dear to all…
yet love is better than life…
— The Nightingale and the Rose (Oscar Wilde)

Be The Best Of Whatever You Are

By: Douglas Malloch

If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley — but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.

If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass —
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew,
There’s something for all of us here,
There’s big work to do, and there’s lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can’t be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can’t be the sun be a star;
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail —
Be the best of whatever you are!
