Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa

Maybe our world will grow kinder eventually.
Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of God that is inside each of us.

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth.
Growth must be chosen again and again;
fear must be overcome again and again.
Abraham Maslow

No straight road in this world
Only a giant labyrinth
Of intersecting crossroads
