Inspirations
By
Tom Krause

Courage is the discovery that you may not win.
and trying when you know you can lose.

Honor is standing for what you believe----
not for what you know.

Life isn't about living without problems.
Life is about solving problems.

If you plow the field every day----
the only thing ine that grows is resentment.

Compassion is passion with a heart.

The only thing in the whole universe people need to
control are their attitudes.

How a person wins and loses is much more important
than how much a person wins and loses.

If you only do what you know you can do---
you never do very much.

There are no failures---
just experiences and your reactions to them.

Getting what you want is not nearly as important
as giving what you have.

Going on a journey with a map requires following
directions--
going on a journey without one requires following
your heart.

Talent without humility is wasted.

If you don't want it bad enough to risk losing it---
you don't want it bad enough.

When life knocks you down you have two choices---
stay down or get up.

I need you NOW
By
Becky Tucker

My friend, I need you now--
Please take me by the hand.
Stand by me in my hour of need,
Take time to understand.

Take my hand, dear friend,
And lead me from this place.
Chase away my doubts and fears,
Wipe the tears from off my face.

Friend, I cannot stand alone.
I need your hand to hold,
The warmth of your gentle touch
In my world that's grown so cold.

Please be a friend to me
And hold me day by day.
Because with your loving hand in mine,
I know we'll find the way.

By
Donna Miesbach

When I resolve into the essence
That I most truly am,
I feel a deep connection
With every living thing.
For that which most imbues me
With my identity
Is somehow inthe other,too,
I see myself--reflected.
Hidden in this union
Is the wonderful discovery
That if indeed the angels
Have wings--
Then so do I.
And if the essence of a flower
Drifts out on a gentle breeze--
Then so do I.
And if the midnight sky
Is radiant with light--
Then so am I.
And if the silent mystery
Somehow becomes revealed
In tiny dewdrops fair--
Then so will I.
For every lovely thing
Manifests the essence
Of which I am a part,
Sobeware, my soul, beware,
And move with gental heart
Throughout this mystic veil.
For if Love has left its imprint here--
Then so have I!

How Big Is Your Splash?
By
Elmer Adrian,90

Now as I look inward,
I find that by compasiion,
I haven't jumped as high
or made as large a splash
as others that I know.

I'm told
there is no face or mind
like mine.
I am one of a kind.

This makes me wonder
what another person
with the same frame,
background and foibles
would have done with it.
