"Suddenly the hour is gone - and it's anybody's guess what we did with it. Did we enjoy anything? Pleasant times are for a purpose. They aren't just something to amuse us, but pleasure slows the heart, lowers the blood pressure, and give ease to the mind. Something beyond the awareness tries to slow the human spirit from living so intensely."
Sometimes trouble hides behind the look of serenity. Sometimes in laughter - but nearly always in the way a person jokes. It takes some understanding, some recognition or reckoning, to sense pain that is well hidden.
In this age of defending and demanding rights we're often faced with the question of who holds us back more than anyone else? This is a trick question that isn't very tricky. In all honesty we have to admit that we're the problem. But good attitudes keep us moving and active and able to do everything without reacting to the smallest incident as a barrier in our way. We're willing to work, to initiate and set in motion the good of life, and do it by not stepping on others."
