Day 116



From: Be An Angel by Dana Reynolds & Karen Blessen
Part 3

A gentle voice can heal.

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath:
it is twice bless'd;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes...
William Shakespeare

There is no unhappiness
like the misery of sighting land again
after a cheerful, careless voyage.
Mark Twain

Life is a great surprise.
I do not see why death should be an even greater one.
Vladimir Nabokov

Death is simple a shedding of the physical body,
like the butterfly coming out of a cocoon...
It's like putting away you winter coast when spring comes.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
Isaiah 22:13

Treat each meal as a celebration.
Give thanks for the bounty.

The holiest of all holidays
are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
the secret anniversaries of the heart.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
