I’d put more distance between us. Having us here, always together hasn’t allowed for any fondness to grow between us.
We are what we love. We are the things, the people, the ideas we spend our days with. They center us, they drive us, they define us to our very core. Without them, we are empty.
As a matter of fact, we are none of us above criticism; so let us bear with each other's faults.
The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.
Science cannot tell us a word about why music delights us, of why and how an old song can move us to tears.
The three of us made love like one of us was a voyeur. I was the only one using binoculars as a sex toy.
Stories arrest us. Parents use stories to capture the attention of active children. Preachers use stories to capture the attention of sleepy adults.
If those we love visit us when we dream, those who torment us almost always visit us when we're still awake.
Religion can't separate us, politics can't divide us, wealth can't classify us. We're all one! We're children of LOVE!

Rich kids gave us their old clothes. They were the best clothes we ever had. We were these very pure, naive, poor children. The rich kids called us a lot of names but it never bothered us because we didn't know what the words meant.
Let us live not only to serve God ourselves; let us live to help our children and their children live for God.
Fellow-Christians, do let us study the Bible portrait of the humble man. And let us ask our brethren, and ask the world, whether they recognize in us the likeness to the original.
The world hates us, but the bottom line is we're gonna have to show the world why they hate us by bombing the hell out of some people that have been hurting us. That's all. That's the end of it.
Once I found this possibility to use Twitter and Facebook and my blog to connect to my readers, I'm going to use it, to connect to them and to share thoughts that I cannot use in the book.
