| The sea whispers... listen and it will tell secrets of the ages and bring you peace for today. |
| Let Me Bend Lord,let me bend to gather fragrant wildflowers to touch the waters of a mountain stream. Let me bend to comfort the smallest child Or to hug someone who cannot stand, Let me bend in my thinking so I will never be judgemental. Let me bend away from anger and hate And towards forgiveness and love. In this busy,hectic and sometimes chaotic life... Let me bend just enough, to keep from breaking. Lela R. Curtis |

| Have you ever noticed that no matter how stong or tall a tree is that its leaves are still silent when they touch the ground ? |
| Choose your socks for their color and you friends by their character. To choose socks for their character makes no sense, to choose friends by their color is unthinkable. |
| Have you ever watched two animals playing?They are not moaning about their yesterdays,or worried about their tomorrows...simply enjoying today.Perhaps we humans should take lessons from the animal kingdom. |
| If life were like fabric,mine would be in the box marked remnants, pieces too sheer or too rough or simply not enough to make anything significant. But pieced together these remnants make a patchwork of my life, far too beautiful for words Lela R.Curtis |
