For what it’s worth-

it’ never too late, or, in my case,

too early to be whoever

you want to be. There’s no

time limit, stop whenever you want.

You can change or stay the same,

there are no rules to this thing.

We can take the best

or the worst of it. I hope

you make the best of it.

And I hope you see things

that startle you.

I hope you feel things you never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different

point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of.

If you find that you’re not,

I hope you have the courage

to start all over again.

~Eric Roth

where did I find hope in the past?

inquiry for today~ this, oh this is why we love…..

in sanctuary

At the end of this life,

it’s unlikely we’ll be too concerned

with whether we accomplished all the tasks

on our to-do list, played it safe,

healed all the wounds from our past,

or wrapped up our unending project

of self-improvement.

Perhaps we’ll be left with just one question-

how well did I love while I was here?

~Matt Licata
