“For the power Thou hast given me to lay hold of things unseen: For the strong sense I have that this is not my home: For my restless heart which nothing finite can satisfy: I give Thee thanks, O God.” —John Baillie

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“We do not want merely to see beauty ... We want something else which can hardly be put into words — to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” -C.S. Lewis

People will shun or applaud you for stating your opinions. Neither their censure nor their praise should motivate you to contribute to the conversation. Assess instead whether what you say is logically coherent, evidentially true, and pragmatically satisfying.

Some find a way;
others find an excuse.
Which kind are you?

Just watched “Just Mercy.”
Whoa!

Emotions galore.
Heart wrenching movie.
Impeccable & poignant storytelling.

May history cease repeating itself in this world!

[Louima Lilite @louimalilite]

When you don’t pause long enough to remember how and why your sordid past is behind you, the likelihood of your repeating history skyrockets.

10 years ago right now, I was visiting Haiti reeling from the 7.0 earthquake that took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people (including my cousin Obicson), left many more disabled one way or another, and... https://t.co/fsZhPgt9S8

Identity demands clarity of function. Trying to cross the lake of life in two canoes at a time is a fool’s errand. It’s one or the other. If you’re to get to the other shore at all, don’t put each foot in a different canoe.

A changed heart results in a changed conduct.

[Louima Lilite @louimalilite]

The “comparisons” game is a joy-killer and a life stifler. It’s not the hoped-for end result you need to focus on all the time;
it’s the daily decisions that will change the trajectory of your life. Hang in there, friend, and celebrate all the little wins."

[Louima Lilite @louimalilite]

You are loved!

Talk to others.
Listen to people.

The art of conversation is not about two individuals lobbing or flinging words/ideas at each other. It’s about communicating in such a way each party fully receives the words exchanged and the hearts behind them.
