"Those you see over there," replied his master, "with their long arms. Some of them have arms well nigh two leagues in length."

“WE THE PEOPLE” (PATRIOTISM NOT POLITICS!)

“No matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back!” ~ Camus

"PRINCE OF PEACE,”

“MATERIAL WITNESS”

and “A MOVEABLE FEAST"

“In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.

In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that…

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.

And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” ~ Albert Camus
