I've included all those that she sent to me, not just the ones I shared today. Peace, Rob PS - Emily points out that they're from a book called "Turning Point" When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. Kahil Gibran (Me) Traveling is a fool's paradise. We owe our first journey'e the discovery that place is nothing. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and loose sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, where beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled freom. My Giantt goes with me wherever I go. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. Rumi When I don't manage to fly, someone else will. The spirit wants only that there be flying. As for who happens to do it. 8/18/2006
