When we think we can manage our time, our circumstances, and our relationships without His help and inspiration, we know what unmanageability is.
No one is an outside observer of nature, We're defined by our environment and our interaction with that environment -- by our ecology. And that ecology is necessarily relative, historical and empirical.
We were born in charge of our own being, our own personality. Other people's personalities are beyond our control.
The ability for anyone in our generation to self-amuse has sadly been bred out of our species.
Our common language is English. And our common task is to ensure that our non-English-speaking children learn this common language.
Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country.
Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens to the which our wills are gardeners.
We choose our sex, our color, our country, and then we look around for the particular set of parents who will mirror the pattern we are bringing in to work on in this lifetime.
I keep returning to the central question facing over-50 women as we move into our Second Adulthood. What are our goals for this stage in our lives?
