To that wonderful wisdom
Which is why your our leader

~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

Don't expect to learn about people from books; a
person can't fit in a bookcase.

Ten out of ten people die, so don't take life too
seriously.

When the world comes to an end, it will do so
without my permission.

We're all here because we're not all here.

in my mouth.

If you think you're happy, you are. If you think
you're wise, you're not.

positive they do is a pleasant surprise.

For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over
time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people

the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get
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
