There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than
ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming
grief ... and
unspeakable love.
--- Washington
Irving
As much as we wish, not one of us can bring
back yesterday
or shape tomorrow. Only today is ours, and
it will not be
ours for long, and once it is gone it
will never in all time be ours
again. Thou only
knowest what it holds in store for us, yet even
we know
something of what it will hold. The
chance to speak the truth, to show
mercy, to ease
anothers burden. The chance to resist evil, to
remember
all the good times and good people
of our past, to be brave, to be strong, to be
glad.
-Frederick

to take a bath in this!? Yikes!
