To laugh often and much

About: There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
That is translated through you into action,
And because there is only one of you in all time,
This expression is unique.
If you block it,
It will never exist through any other medium
And will be lost.
The world will not have it...

Cape Point, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to.

“The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts.
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development,
who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company,
good conversation, are the happiest people in the world.
And they are not only happy in themselves,
they are the cause of happiness in others.” —William Phelps

Today was my first actual attempt at art therapy for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at A.I. DuPont Children’s Hospital. Only a few patients showed up, and one drew me this heart-warming picture. There were a few statements I heard during the program that really stuck with me. One was a constant reminder to the kids: “It doesn’t have to be perfect; anything is art here.” The other was from a parent: “This is stimulating the brain, which is so important when kids are under this condition.” It woke up my brain a little too and definitely my heart as I watched a three year old scribble on sheets of construction paper with marker on her face and ten year olds create birds and flowers out of paper mache, all with chronic illnesses. Yet, they all had the self-confidence to create something.
Pretty cool experience.

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” —Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild (

“If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders.” —

I refuse to lie to children, I refuse to cater to the bullshit of innocence.
When you hide another story in the story, that’s the story that I am telling the children.
— Maurice Sendak
