We normally react with horror and shock when we're presented with news of young people dying before they should.

Then why don't we react the same way when it's old people who're involved?

They're not any less wanted, are they?

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Snow

It snowed today.

Pure white flakes descending from the heavens above, buffeted about by the cold cold winds of Glasgow.

To land on the ground, forming an endless expanse.

The pureness, the untaintedness, the brilliant wonder of it all.




Tis' indeed a pretty world that we live in. :)

Even Mr. Snowman agrees... don't you Smiley Snowy Man?

The Snow That Never Drifts by Emily Dickinson

The Snow that never drifts --
The transient, fragrant snow
That comes a single time a Year
Is softly driving now --

So thorough in the Tree
At night beneath the star
That it was February's Foot
Experience would swear --

Like Winter as a Face
We stern and former knew
Repaired of all but Loneliness
By Nature's Alibit --

Were every storm so spice
The Value could not be --
We buy with contrast -- Pang is good
As near as memory --
