The faeries themselves come in an endless variety of shapes and sizes and a multitude of hues: Fairies, black, grey, green, and white You moonshine revellers, and shades of night.SHAKESPEARE Birdfoot's Grampa ByJoseph Bruchac III The old man must have stop our car two dozen times to climb out and gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights and leaping live drops of rain. The rain was falling, a mist about his white hair and I kept saying you can't save them all, accept it, get back in we've got places to go. But, leathery hands full of wet brown life, knee deep in the summer roadside grass, he just smiled and said they have places to go too. DESIDERATA Max Ehrmann 1927 GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE & HASTE, & REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. * Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. * If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. * Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. * * BE YOURSELF * * Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. * Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many FEARS are born of FATIGUE AND LONEINESS. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. * You are a child of the UNIVERSE, no less than the trees & the stars; YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. * Therefore be at peace with GOD, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. * With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.* BE CAREFUL. * * STRIVE TO BE HAPPY. * "CIRCLE TIME" Author ~~ Ali Adamson Angleton, Texas 7-21-97 Driftwood circles on shifting sand, Mark the place of transient Man Circles once did warn away In this time they guide the way Curious children gather near To summon things they ought to fear Seeking there to leave this place To dwell among the Fairer Race They are Fantastic, with Fantasy wrought To steal the things which can't be bought They are Beautiful, with Beauty unreal And Glamour to baffle, befuddle and steal They are Terrific they beget Terror Follow not into this error They love the Hunt, their prey is, Man So run, run as fast as you can And pray for the coming of the sun. When the spell will be undone Knowing with the coming of the night. The Gentry will put you again to flight To hide below stairs and under shelves Praying for the silence of the Elves. So If you see circles, keep your space From the land of the Faerie Race. SMOOTH THOUGHTS Author Unknown Anger is only one letter short of danger. To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart. If someone betrays you once, it's his fault; If he betrays you twice, it's your fault. He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are acts of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. The tongue weighs practically nothing, But so few people can hold it. Friends, you and me.... you brought another friend... and then there were 3... we started our group... Our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.
To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart.
If someone betrays you once, it's his fault; If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are acts of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically nothing, But so few people can hold it. Friends, you and me.... you brought another friend... and then there were 3... we started our group... Our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
