If I diminish you, I diminish myself...

* Believe nothing,

no matter where you read it,

or who said it,

no matter if I have said it,

 unless it agrees with

your own reason and

your own common sense

* All things appear and disappear

because of the concurrence

of causes and conditions.

Nothing ever exists entirely alone;

everything is in relation to everything else

* The way is not in the sky.

The way is in the heart   

  
* Three things cannot be long hidden:

The sun, The moon, and Truth

* Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared

I am married to the love of my life,

Mrs. Pascale I. Palmer

P assion in every movement as you
A llow for self expression, and
S ave all your kisses just for me
C oloring every moment with truth and
A cceptance giving pure energy to 
L oving with wild abandon while
E difying everything life has to offer

Walk With Me All The Days Of Our Lives

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.


Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

-Kahlil Gibran

Where there is PEACE

you'll find HARMONY.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

-Kahlil Gibran

I am what I am because of who we all are...
