Identification with and understanding of another’s situation, feelings, and motives.
I don’t know
maybe I would write you
a happy ending
I would rearrange the pieces
to your sad beginning
I would put you far away
from the decaying roots
that bore you
and let you experience
all the ways that happiness
could bloom before you
or maybe I’m naive
maybe I’m just a kid
who thought that
if he could plant a seed
It would somehow grow inside you…..
it just takes one person…
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.

I am putting my thoughts on 1500 statements under the ‘Life’ tab. This will take a while so check back periodically. 🙂
On the right sidebar of the website, you will find RECENT POSTS & POST ARCHIVES BY DATE.
As I get time, I will go through all 500+ current posts and edit the categories to create easier access to specific posts. Most of these are older journal entries, and more valuable Facebook posts/pictures over the years.
I also will be going down the list of each and every single category (234+) writing notes on each topic! DETERMINED!!! 🙂
Deepest Thoughts & The Woman Of My Dreams hit my heart the heaviest. Just sayin’
