Our thoughts are stronger, too

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. - James Allen

In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.
All the thoughts unuttered and all the feelings unexpressed
Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.
But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak
How could you believe that the life within the seed
That grew arms that reached
And a heart that beat.
And lips that smiled
And eyes that cried.
Could ever die?

Here come the blue skies here comes springtime.
When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.
When everything that dies.
Shall rise.

Why not optimism?

For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else. – Winston Churchill

"It's too hard!" "Shut your balls! No it's not!"

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. - Winston Churchill
