Jonathan Carroll
Image
You know people don't get better as we get older- we just get more of who we are.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
The problem with waiting for someone, whether that wait is an hour or a lifetime, is everyone's 'clock' is different. So what you might consider forever is only a little while to them, or vice versa.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
Fear pounds on the door to our heart demanding to be let in. Joy is modest and often comes into our lives like a shy person entering a room it can take a while to even notice it's there.
Jonathan Carroll
Image
Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That's about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind.
