“Upon an ever expansive horizon, Life reveals Her mystery; To live is a gift, to feel is a blessing, and to take part in Her beauty is a miracle renewed each day.”

“All life is part of a complex relationship in which each is dependent upon the others, taking from, giving to and living with all the rest.”

“Life is but a moment to moment heartbeat intertwined with the feelings of existence in a physical body. With each breathe we take we renew our commitment to stay in life. With each thought we think ………we decide what kind of life we will live.”

“In those long-ago days I saw a daughter with a disability. Now I see a beautiful, engaging person with a different ability, one that has blessed her with extra gifts and special perceptions.”

“There is no mystery-- that's the beauty of it. We are entirely explicable to each other, and yet we stay. What a miracle that is.”

“Odd to you, but to me, that’s my death day. Dead to ever living a normal life again. When I saw you sitting on the pier, I kind of thought of it as a gift...a beautiful...hopeful gift.”
