We should be lifting each other up and cheering each other on; not trying to outshine one another. The sky would be awfully dark with just one star.
Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah
“You don’t have to say anything.”
He sat back in his chair. “I won’t. As always, words fail when you most want to say the right thing.” “People think they have to say something, and it never makes me feel better.”
“I know. I’ve decided language isn’t as advanced as we think it is. We’re still apes trying to express our thoughts with grunts while most of what we want to communicate stays locked in our brains.”
― Glendy Vanderah, Where the Forest Meets the Stars
Where My Books Go
All the words that I utter, And all the words that I write,
Must spread out their wings untiring,
And never rest in their flight,
Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,
And sing to you in the night,
Beyond where the waters are moving,
Storm-darkened or starry bright.
~ W. B. Yeats
Ep 64. New Year, Same You
We are hard on ourselves & if we aren’t careful, we can beat ourselves up more than make positive changes. There’s the saying ‘New Year, New You’. But I want to offer the idea of new year, same you.
Every Great Dream
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~ Harriet Tubman
My Hair’s Being Pulled By The Stars Again
I’m restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again. ~ Anais Nin
We Are All Aliens
In a very real sense, we are all aliens on a strange planet. We spend most of our lives reaching out and trying to communicate. If during our whole lifetime, we could reach out and really communicate with just two people, we are really fortunate. ~ Gene Roddenberry
Remember To Look Up
So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes a universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. ~ Stephen Hawking
The Martian by Andy Weir
Mark Watney is funny and resourceful. Good thing, since he’s stranded on Mars. The main takeaway from The Martian by Andy Weir is that with extreme determination, anything is possible.
