“You may wonder about long-term solutions. I assure you, there are none. All wounds are mortal. Take what's given. You sometimes get a little slack in the rope but the rope always has an end. So what? Bless the slack and don't waste your breath cursing the drop. A grateful heart knows that in the end we all swing.”
“Sometimes you can cattle rope your heart and sometimes you can't, is all.”
“When you get the end of your rope, tie a knot & hold on!”
“Most people have a rope that ties them to someone, and that rope can be short or it can be long. (Be long. Belong. Get it?) You don't know how long, though. It's not your choice.”
“There's something I learned when I was homeless: Our limitation is God's opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain't nothin you can do, that's when God takes over.”
“Your twisting is done--you have the last thread of my heart. I wonder: when the thread grows slack, will you feel it?”
