I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.
Even After All this time The Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.
Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.
Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.
The place you are right now God circled on a map for you.
