Ignore any loss of nerve, ignore any loss of self-confidence, ignore any doubt or confusion. Move on believing in love, in peace, and harmony, and in great accomplishment. Remember joy isn't a stranger to you. You are winning and you are strong. Love. Love first, love always, love forever.

He had grieved for me, I'll give him that much. But then he is so good at grieving! He wears woe as others wear velvet sorrow flatters him like the light of candles tears become him like jewels.
