[ Marriage Made Simple ]

Marriage Made Simple

You take care of one another
You be as kind as you can
You do your share of finding new sources of fun
You quietly pass up opportunities to score points or be a wise guy
You give the benefit of the doubt
You try to make things less insane rather than more

[ THE ZEN COMMANDMENTS ]

Consider the waves of the ocean.

At any given moment, a wave is limited in space: extending from Point A to Point B, it's just so big and no bigger, isolated by the troughs that separate it from other waves. It's also limited in time: it arose at some moment in the past and will crash against the shore at some moment in the future. And it's never at rest but is in constant, turbulent motion.

[ Waging Peace ]

Kindness is my religion.
-H. H. The XIV Dalai Lama

I would like to thank all who showed my family and I such great kindness on our vacation.
I would also like to thank all that allowed my family and I to show them kindness while on our vacation.
-NN

There is no place like home.
-Dorthy -The Wizard of OZ.
