When I first finished those books, bawling like a baby, I went straight back to page one and started reading again because I didn't want the story to end. (less)

Why Was Hope Inside a Box of the World's Greatest Evils?

Question of the day: Do you believe that hope is good or do you believe it is evil?

Excerpt from Shaking in the Forest: Finding Light in the Darkness

Whenever I think about hope, I cannot help but remember the story of Pandora’s Box. For those who don’t know the story, Zeus had a daughter named Pandora, and she was sent to Earth as the first woman. After a Titan named Prometheus stole fire from hea Read more of this blog post »

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Steve Jobs
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
John Anster

Jerry Garcia
“If we had any nerve at all, if we had any real balls as a society, or whatever you need, whatever quality you need, real character, we would make an effort to really address the wrongs in this society, righteously.”
Jerry Garcia
