two thoughts

one:

life is very fragile.  our words. the looks we give with our eyes.  they way those looks change in an instant.  our attempt to love and understand and empathize. the things we can control vs. the things we can't. the choices we make so delicately in our mind and carry out with such brave face.  our understandings and misunderstandings.  they are all just little subtleties.  but they aren't, ya know?

and another:

I believe in a personal God. I think I always have, but not in those same words. a dear friends shared that phrasing with me today, "personal God" and it just felt right.  not the subtle kind of right, but the kind that had my head and heart nodding "yes, I believe in a personal God" and filled my soul with an energy I'd forgotten.
