Quotes: (let’s try this again….) For this thread… inspirational quotes, words that make you ponder, contemplate, sigh with relief, or even shed a tear. Quotes from your mind or other great minds. Poets, come forth! Speak your deepest words, share (if you dare) what is inside. Share lyrics that have meaning, poetry from others, or that moment when you realized…some great knowing.
Politics will be flagged! Go elsewhere for that. This is a thread for the who want to find deeper meaning in life, express themselves, be held up by others for a moment.

Sometimes the path is not clear. Sometimes the choices change, evolve from the absolutely-no-way to the maybe. Sometimes the choices are daunting and costly. Sometimes there is one choice that stands out among the others and sometimes that choice is so strongly felt, there is no other logical thing to do but go for it.”
