“Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as death.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“I have learned over a period of time to be almost unconsciously grateful--as a child is--for a sunny day, blue water, flowers in a vase, a tree turning red. I have learned to be glad at dawn and when the sky is dark. Only children and a few spiritually evolved people are born to feel gratitude as naturally as they breathe, without even thinking. Most of us come to it step by painful step, to discover that gratitude is a form of acceptance.”
― Faith Baldwin, Many Windows, Seasons of the Heart

“For some things there are no wrong seasons. Which is what I dream of for me.”
