    James C. Dobson
    “Jesus Christ is the source—the only source—of meaning in life. He provides the only satisfactory explanation for why we’re here and where we’re going. Because of this good news, the final heartbeat for the Christian is not the mysterious conclusion to a meaningless existence. It is, rather, the grand beginning to a life that will never end. That same Lord is waiting to embrace and forgive anyone who comes to Him in humility and repentance. He is calling your name, just as He called the name of Pete Maravich. His promise of eternal life offers the only hope for humanity. If you have never met this Jesus, I suggest that you seek spiritual counsel from a Christian leader who can offer guidance. You can also write to me, if that would help. Thanks for reading along with me. I hope to meet you someday. If our paths don’t cross this side of heaven, I’ll be looking for you in that eternal city. By all means, Be there!”

    “Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

    'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

    'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

    'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

    'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”

    E.E. Cummings
    “I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
    I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
    I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
    and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

    here is the deepest secret nobody knows
    (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
    higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
    and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

    I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”

    Kamand Kojouri
    “Let my silence grow with noise
    as pregnant mothers grow with life.
    Let my silence permeate these walls
    as sunlight permeates a home.

    Let the silence rise from unwatered graves
    and craters left by bombs.
    Let the silence rise from empty bellies
    and surge from broken hearts.

    The silence of the hidden and forgotten.
    The silence of the abused and tortured.
    The silence of the persecuted and imprisoned.
    The silence of the hanged and massacred.

    Loud as all the sounds can be,
    let my silence be loud
    so the hungry may eat my words
    and the poor may wear my words.

    Loud as all the sounds can be,
    let my silence be loud
    so I may resurrect the dead
    and give voice to the oppressed.

    My silence speaks.”

    before the birds start
    trilling me their stories,
    I give birth to a new love
    through my same old heart

    finds life in the swans breath

    Richelle Mead
    “Whatever happened to the dragon?"

    I mustered my primmest tone. "He has a name, you know."

    Adrian pulled back and gave me a curious look. "I didn't know, actually. What'd you decide on?"

    "Hopper." When Adrian laughed, I added, "Best rabbit ever. He'd be proud to know his name is being passed on."
    "Yes, I'm sure he would. Did you name the Mustang too?"
    "I think you mean the Ivashkinator."

    He stared at me in wonder. "I told you I loved you, right?
    "Yes," I assured him. "Many times.”
