It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.
But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
Alan Cohen
"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.

November 11
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place ; and in the sky
the larks , still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived , felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
On the 11th hour on the 11th day in the 11th month - A Moment of Silence
