Questions have great power. One right question asked at the right time can change the direction of our lives.

Thoughts

Each one of us is much more than any one thing. A sick child is more than a sickness. A person with a disability is more than a handicap. A pediatrician is more than a medical doctor... You're much more than your job description or your age or your income or your anything else.

--- Fred Rogers, Neighborly Wisdom from Mister Rogers

Now That's The Marriage I Want!

One crisp fall day, we went antiquing, Gram's favorite pastime. Dusty old furnishings and knickknacks hold zero interest for me, and it was our ninth trinket shop stop that day. I wearily pulled Gramps's Buick over and helped them out of the car.

My grandparents went ahead as I locked up. I watched their slow, uneven shuffle toward the store. This was a standard sight by then, but something in that day, something in that moment, gave me pause. I noticed how their frail fingers were intertwined.

"Funny," I thought, "all these years, and they're still holding hands."

Suddenly, I stood there almost paralyzed, my eyes fixated on their hands. I know this sounds strange but the energy between them became visible. Like a movie effect, everything around them dissolved. I could see the energy of their love swirling and encircling them.

It took me a second, but I got it. I remembered the longing for my true love, my Maid Marian, and my belief that our love would last forever. I hadn't had that feeling in years. I had long since abandoned the idea of everlasting love as a stupid fairy tale cartoon.

Yet here it was in the flesh.
