ABOUT ME

" he's quick with a joke or a light of your smoke but there's someplace that he'd rather be.."
B.J

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
Charles M. Schulz

Ach der geworfene, ach der gewagte Ball, fullt er die Hande nicht anders mit Wiederkehr: rein um sein Heimgewicht ist er mehr.
Rilke

Ahh the ball that we hurled into infinite space, doesn't it fill our hand differently with it's return:heavier by the weight of where it has been.

..strangers are just friends waiting to happen...

PHILOSOPHY

without wanting to sound too churchy..(am anything but)..just treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself!
