The world has been forced to its knees. Unhappily, we seldom find our way there without being beaten to it by suffering.

Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.

What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.

Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.

Guys kick friendship all over just like a soccer, nonetheless it does not appear to crack. Girls deal with it like glass and it goes to items.

After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
