We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.
How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole.
