“Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.” ― Samuel Johnson
King Lear
Alb. The weight of this sad time we must obey; Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say. The oldest hath borne most: we that are young, 385 Shall never see so much, nor live so long. –King Lear, Act V Scene III
An Ode to Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz SUMMER IN THE CITY [Inspired by: New York City] Despite my autumn fever, yesterday’s 68-degree morning, and leaving the house with a jacket today, it is still officially a tourist-crowded-sidewalk NYC summer.

Hurrying means doing several things at once, and quickly: this; then that; and then something else. When you hurry, timeContinue reading “To Live Longer, Walk Slowly”

White “After Praying, Continue to Claim the Promise—After the prayer is made, if the answer is not realized immediately, do not weary of waiting and become unstable. Waver not. Cling to the promise, ‘Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.’ Like theContinue reading “Hold on”
