"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Still.



"Each one of us will, at one time in our lives...look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same questions. We are willing to help, Lord...but what, if anything, is needed? It is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give ... or more often than not, the part we have to give ... is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us ... but we can still love them. We can love completely ... without complete understanding."
