"A nobleman once asked a Chinese Philosopher

to grant his family a blessing. [He] thought for a moment,

then said, 'Grandfather dies, father dies, son dies.'

The nobleman was horrified, but the philosopher shrugged his shoulders.

 'What other way would you have it?"

"I used to wonder what was meant by keening.
I remember reading about Indian mothers and grandmothers
keening when a son or husband was killed in battle.
When my grandson died, I knew exactly what it was.
I howled in rage and grief.
I keened with tears streaming down my face.
I finally understood what the term keening meant.
It means your heart is breaking and you will never be quite the same." 

~Shirley Saum

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.  You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror,  I can take the next thing that comes along.'  You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

~Eleanor Roosevelt
