I have diligently disciplined my life to search out life’s gifts in the places where life stores its scraps.

We can live out our lives, and in the end realize that we never really ‘lived’ a day in our lives.

I have diligently disciplined my life to search out life’s gifts in the very places where society mistakenly says life stores its scraps. And I am constantly amazed that in the treasure trove that surrounds me, I stand in the company of so few.

Looking back, I now realize that I left home in search of all the things that were right in the very place I left.

It may be that we’re not seeing the wonder in life because all we’re doing is wondering how we’re going to survive life.

What insanity would lead me to believe that I possess the power, much less the aptitude to manipulate all of the consequences out of all of my decisions?
