“Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.”

60 days until we make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor. Can we get 60,000 retweets to help us get it done?!

Beautifully stated. Existence is worth respecting and honoring.

Somebody is not amused...

maybe what we call intelligence is just insatiable curiosity, and instead of trying to turn kids into better test-takers we should be giving them fascination and critical thinking and a sense of wonder.

“A person with a disability is much, much more than a handicap. A pediatrician is more than a medical doctor. You’re MUCH more than your job description or your age or your income or your output.”

Puppy watching the waves.

So many things we have to learn…

"When I was a boy I used to think that 'strong' meant having big muscles, great physical power; but the longer I live, the more I realize that real strength has much more to do with what is not seen. Real strength has to do with helping others."

The brevity, fragility, and beauty of life and living is all around us. Look. Touch. Love. ❤️ I’ve been there as the last one to touch someone as they leave this earth, and it’s unlike anything else.

“”I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” “I forgive you,” “I’m grateful for you.” That’s what eternity it made of: invisible imperishable, good stuff.”

“I’m proud of you. I hope that you are proud of you too.”

“The biggest help we give our children is the examples we set in our own friendships. Attitudes are "caught" more than "taught." That's true for empathy and tolerance and all the other things that have to do with being a good friend.”

"Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors."

“I wonder if we might pledge ourselves to remember what life is really all about—not to be afraid that we’re less flashy than the next, not to worry that our influence is not that of a tornado, but rather that of a grain of sand in an oyster! Do we have that kind of patience?”

“How can we make goodness attractive? And how can we encourage quiet reflection rather than noise?”

“So, in all that you do in all of your life, I wish you the strength and the grace to make those choices which will allow you and your neighbor to become the best of whoever you are.”

“Why in the world couldn’t we use this thing called television for the broadcasting of grace across this land?”
