this gifted life

God has endowed you with the responsibility of living this gifted life with an open heart, a humble mind, and a meek soul, faithful in the knowing that bliss will come in a form you can't control, you could never predict, and only you can deny. Bliss comes in its own time.
All else is arrogance.

-Tiny Buddha

good morning

There are far better things ahead
than any we leave behind
