    We cling… to hope of an understanding love.

    We must teach our children that what lies in their hearts is theirs to decide, not ours, to determine.

    We must teach our children that they are valued, that they are loved, and that they are free. http://bit.ly/CGApStS

    Love is less about control than it is about release.

    Anything worth having, is worth work.

    Within each of us does an angel reside, and a demon, too.

    My daughter just asked me, “What is love?” I told her, “Something different for you, than me. Something only you can know.” I know, do you?

    Love is so much more than any single thing, it is glory, and it is pain, it is laughter, and it is tears hidden by the rain.

    Some things are better to give than to sell, thoughts, smiles, hugs, and yes, kisses too.

    Wisdom, it doesn’t bottle well.

    Can you imagine a world governed by women, I can and I think it would be far better than this one, which is governed, by man.

    The worst hell is the hell inside our mind, a hell, of which we seldom tell.

    Women and men are nothing alike, yes, we share a dialect, but the fundamental language we speak is utterly different.

    Women speak a language of we, while we men… why we speak a language, of me.

    We are all exactly unique.

    Awoke with a shock before five, wondered if my canary in the coalmine was still alive, wondered too, if for freedom she still strives.

    The greatest lies are those obscured by the littlest truths.

    May your heart be filled by the souls you love.

    True friendship is something you should never test. https://cgayling.com/malmaxa/2014/01/what-is-true-friendship/ …

    Does the universe align, in the stamps we place on time?

    Life, is not a profit center.

    Why do shadows flee before the sun, why are open hearts undone, why do angels close their wings and run?

    Why are victims of abuse often the last to realize they are, and is offering them understanding just another way of enabling their abuser?

    Words, some of the easiest things to share, Deeds, some of the darkest things to do.

    Love, the sustenance of the Soul.

    here and gone

    Material impoverishment does not preclude spiritual wealth.

    Though you surround yourself with beauty, if your soul is empty nothing you can buy will refill it. http://bit.ly/CGApHMS

    Abuse has more victims than just the target of the abuse.

    My truths are my own, yours may vary, and yes – that is a good thing.

    I don’t write about truth so much as I write my view of truths. And yes, any meaningful truth is completely subjective.

    Mathematics might be meaningful but they are not meaningful truths.

    on the point to the point where’s the point what’s the point

    Does Math live, or lie, or love, or wish, or die? Though Math has meaning, it is not meaningful truth.

    Fear is the demon, pain is merely one of its minions…

    Never stop loving, just stop letting your love be used.

    …the people should always be able to strike down odious laws, under most governments they cannot.

    Intellect without Heart is a recipe for cruelty. Heart without Intellect, is a recipe for heartbreak. Life without Soul, a recipe, for hell.

    If the price of life is your soul, then life’s price may be too high.

    between the lines, one of my favorite places to lie in wait for the unaware, between the words, as well.

    And a tricky one at that, for every time we revisit our memory it changes, yet asserts that it remains the same.

    The only person who doesn’t need tips, is a fool.

    All too often, or perhaps not often enough, anger’s victim is the angered.

    “Licking hot chocolate off of yourself is a very good thing.” our almost four year-old granddaughter, Eden.

    Education is an investment of infinite return, it should be denied to none and it should be free.

    Emotional and moral education should be left to the family, practical education should be provided by the state.

    Women are wired to work together, while we men are wired to tear things apart.

    Analyzing the motives of others is easy, yet understanding our own is not.

    Religion does not equal morals.

    If all we ever do is agree, then we should hold no hope of personal growth.

    Jealousy is an extremely complex emotion, I don’t think we should assume it is the same for everyone.

    To me, the worst kind of cultural bias is where you’re trained that bad things are good. Jealousy is not good.

    “A world where character counts for more than dogma, material wealth, or inherited acclaim.” http://bit.ly/CGAbtSB

    Some simply don’t see the angel they hold, until she opens her wings, and flies away.

    So many, standing so eager, to judge, so sad.

    Write from your heart, place passion in your words, cut anything unnecessary to your message.

    We think that we remember, but what we remember is really only what we think.

    Why is it that “the good life” differs so dramatically from “a good life”?

    The one thing everyone is entitled to is an opinion.

    Why does life require the death of other life to sustain it? {If I could be anything I wanted, I’d be a vegan.}

    Winning is a thrill, yet we gain so much more from loss.

    A world without art would be dismal, and dark.

    You can’t know just how I feel, unless you feel it too.

    Before we can be healed we must be wounded, before the wound we must take the risk, before the risk we should know it, then take it, anyway.

    Other than who they really are: something so many are so interested in being.

    Lemmings: blindly doing whatever the masses do, oh sorry… that should actually read “humans”.

    Jealousy is a complex emotion, whereas acting on jealousy is a stupid action.

    I believe the only positive action to take on jealousy, is no action at all. Think about it, sure, act on it. No.

    The only thing wrong with disagreement, is silence.

    A cruel word is remembered forever, a kind one for only a day, be kind anyway.

    We can buy laughter, but we can’t buy joy, we can buy release, but we can’t buy love, we can own objects, but we can never possess people.

    The only things that will ever love us aren’t things at all, they are living beings.

    A kind word goes a long way, would that we gain and give them, every day.

    Kindness improves our days in oh so many ways.

    Is the essence of jealousy the fear that another offers something we cannot?

    Ultimatums are the tools of tyrants.

    It strikes me as a terrible societal failing that so many victims are led to believe they bear the guilt for the atrocities of others.

    Do not judge the victim, judge the abuser.

    The most difficult thing to rebuild is not a bridge, it is the trust the bridge represented.

    letters lain on pastel paper, their word form set by a soul’s un-breathed sigh.

    Happiness is the highest high, despair, the deepest downer.

    Without art, humanity lies far from infinity.

    Some leaders bravely walk ahead, and pull their followers on behind, others push their followers forward, while staying safety, in the rear.

    Your name reminds me to smile, your words remind me to cry, your deeds, that love is never reason to die.

    When intellect and the heart combine, this might be how wisdom is defined.

    To be kind requires heart, show me a corporation with heart, and I show you a corporation with a great PR department.

    Beauty waits before our eyes, all we need do is open them to see.

    True friendship is something to be treasured, not tallied.

    I think that when our heart smiles our soul sings.

    Darkest eve births new morn, glorious sunrise heralding the dawn, day’s demise foretells another night, endless cycles, dark, and light.

    How do we say the things we so badly need to say, when it seems the words themselves, are in the way.

    The only person I am, is me, the only person I pretend to be, why, that is also me, but better.

    Need and want are not the same, we should never mistake the one for the other.

    Stress is an exaggerator, it makes everything seem far worse than it is. Step back, breathe deep, relax, and look at your troubles again.

    Our granddaughter Eden practices Fly by TV viewing, every time she flies by the TV she glances at it to make sure her “show” is still on.

    Little joys are everywhere flying here and flitting there snatched kisses on their hair with our progeny so near we should suffer no despair

    The size of a person’s character is in no way proportional to the size of the person.

    As one rises, another falls, as one heart cries, another sings, as sun rises, dusk looms, as one dies, another is born, cycles, everywhere.

    If we are the walkers, then life is a tightrope, with no net above the abyss.
