~12 Steps~

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness;
looking for peace. They chase idle dreams,
addictions, religions, even other people, hoping
to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The
irony is the only place they ever needed to search
was within.
- Ramona L. Anderson

you, the others are waiting in the wings.

~Angels~

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden...
it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all,
and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments.
The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief.
It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion
maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow...
Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead."
-David Boreanaz

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
And now these things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
-Bible - 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13

Answer 2

To whom it concerns, Darlene's work will be late
It fell on her pancakes and stuck to her plate

The fate of unborn millions will now depend under God on the courage and conduct of this army.

Whenever I think of yesterday
I close my eyes and see
That place just over the Brooklyn Bridge
That will always be home to me

Where is she
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet hello
That's meant for only me?

What thoughts at heart have you and I
We cannot stop to tell
But dead or living, drunk or dry
Soldier, I wish you well

Let us strive on, to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon's that is dreaming

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pith and moment, with this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action.

That wee bit heap o' leaves and stibble
Has cost thee many a weary nibble

We think na on the lang Scots miles
The mosses, waters, slops, and stiles
That lie between us and our hame
Where sits our sulky sullen dame

The sun was warm but the wind was chill
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still
You're one month on in the middle of May
But if you so much as dare to speak
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch
A wind comes off a frozen peak
And you're two months back in the middle of March.

Were you ever out in the great alone
When the moon was awful clear
And the icy mountains hemmed you in
With a silence you most could hear
With only the howl of a timber wolf
And you camped there in the cold
A half dead thing in a stark dead world
Clean made for the muck called gold

The man who can fight to heaven's own height
Is the man who can fight when he's losing

To walk through long green-dappled grass
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun

How am I to face the odds
Of man's bedevilment and God's?

On this green bank by this soft stream
Today we set a votive stone
That memory may their deed redeem
When like our sires our sons are gone

Your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door

I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

Let us have faith that right makes might. And in that faith let us dare to the end to do our duty as we understand it.

If you've ever seen the forest
when a fire is running wild,
and you love the things within it
like a mother loves her child

This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
In the rustling grass
I hear him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

It isn't while beauty and youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known
To whom time will but make thee more dear

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun
The higher he's a getting
The sooner will his race be run
And the nearer he's to setting

The authors are left as an excercise for the reader.

Any road will take you there.”

If you always do what you always did,
