Jarod Kintz quote #140 from We Had A #Dream About You

I had a dream about you. You were a finger food salesman and I was a man with no fingers who sold wearable silverware called Silverwear. Through a hand gesture you indicated you were number one and then you tried stabbing me with your index finger. Then I insulted your grandma and stabbed you with my eating utensil. What I did was wrongI should never have insulted your grandma.

Amaka Imani Nkosazana quote #26 from Sweet Destiny

Let today be the day you embrace your beautiful spirit and shine light for those living in the dark. Light their path so the road traveled will be seen more clearly. You never know how much a simple act of kindness is appreciated if you never try. Be that candle for someone today and shine bright.

Annie Dillard quote #324 from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

The secret of seeing is then the pearl of great price. If I thought he could teach me to find it and keep it forever I would stagger barefoot across a hundred deserts after any lunatic at all. But although the pearl may be found it may not be sought. The literature of illumination reveals this above all although it comes to those who wait for it it is always even to the most practiced and adept a gift and a total surprise. I return from one walk knowing where the killdeer nests in the field by the creek and the hour the laurel blooms. I return form the same walk a day later scarcely knowing my own name. Litanies hum in my ears my tongue flaps in my mouth. Ailinon alleluia
