Maundy Thursday: wash my hands

by Lucy Nanson, New Zealand:

Two baobab trees in Madagascar are wrapped around each other in eternal love for over 1000 years!

In front of Tokyo Skytree, the tallest tower in the world!

Your Children are not Your Children

by Kahlil Gibran

Your Children are not Your Children

They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?" 

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. 

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." 

JOEY DEHNERT

25 Ways to make sure you enjoy life!

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to.

我的婚姻很幸福，我也有把握延續這種幸福。我寫這篇文章的目的，就是希望有更多的人能把握自己的婚姻。就算我說的都是廢話，如果能引起朋友們在婚前對婚姻多一些思考，也算是達到目的了。

Poem ~ A WOMAN'S ANSWER TO A MAN'S QUESTION.

Mary T. Lathrap (1838-1895)

A WOMAN'S ANSWER TO A MAN'S QUESTION.

當我們什麼都聽不見，只聽見自己痛苦的尖叫、吶喊；當我們周遭的環境突然充滿敵意與險惡──那時，我們會嘶聲力吼：「慈愛的上帝怎麼會允許這種事發生？」～曼寧《毫不留情的信任》

電話那頭的啜泣
