Two thoughts on current threads......
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done;
it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
Sidney Carton, A Tale of Two Cities
(Charles Dickens, English Novelist, 1812-1870)
and......
another piece by Phil Bosmans (I had this read at my wedding!)
People find it very difficult
to go on loving each other.
This is true for married couples.
After starting with an avalanche
of declarations of a love so deep
that you would gladly die for each other,
there comes the down-to-earth realization
that, after all, you are not
in the mood for dying for each other every day!
(Phil Bosmans, Belgian Author & Counsellor)
