We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. - Sam Keen

Today I am grateful...

• to count off another day, leaving 9
• for those who sought to uphold human rights by voting no on Prop 2
• that I seem to be coming out of one of those unnamed and unspecified slumps
• for Lambda Center being a safe place
• that there is every reason for me to believe that today I will have all I need for this day
• that sometimes the veil of illusion seems so thin, yet my ignorance keeps me from being able to lift it
• for the miracle of sobriety
• that most days I say yes more than I say no

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference. -Elie Wiesel

Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred. -Mohandas K. Gandhi
