Don't be ashamed to weep 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.

Good fortune go with you, to your journey's end, let the waters run calmly, for you, my dear friend.

I wrote about a bird that cleaned a crocodile's teeth. The story was so good that my teacher could not believe that a ten-year-old could write that well. I was even punished because my teacher thought I'd lied about writing it! I had always loved to write, but it was then that I realized that I had a talent for it.

Who knows, my friend? Maybe the sword does have some magic. Personally, I think it's the warrior who wields it.

I fell, you see. Trod on my abbot, Father Habit. Oh, dear! I mean.

Sometimes friends do go from us-it will happen more and more as you grow up, Chugg. But if you really love your friends, they're never really gone. Somewhere they're watching over you and they're always there inside your heart. -Martin

A little (one) can sometimes see things in others that us older ones cannot because our judgement gets clouded. —Abbot Saxtus
