All the good in you

Andrea Gibson

When all the good in you
Starts arguing with all the bad in you
About who you really are,
Never let the bad in you
Make the better case

~ Andrea Gibson, "All the Good in You" in LORD OF THE BUTTERFLIES

Quote of the Day

How do we hold both the magnificence and tragedy of the world, as if we stand at a threshold with Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, looking in two directions? ...How do we find the way if we can't see around the bend? ...In our time of disturbance and radical change, we are crossing a threshold, a portal, or an unseen bridge from one world to another. It could be said that the bridge is either collapsing beneath us, or being made as we walk together...

~ from WILD FAITH by Geneen Marie Haugen (Garrison Institute blog entry)
