what you have—

by desiring

what you have not—

But remember—

that what you now have

was once

among the things

only hoped for. . .”

—Epicurus

and it is here

to be lived. . .”

—Kate Winslet

“If you see someone

without a smile—

give them one of yours. . .”

by someone

gives you strength—

while loving someone

deeply

gives you courage. . .“
