“Life’s tragedies, and if you haven’t had them yet you most certainly will, are the dark side of life. That’s why we need to take in as much of the beauty as we can: of the flowers, of the animals, of the mountains, the sea and sunsets, and of loving human eyes. That’s the balance, and if we don’t balance out the tragedies, we will have lived a sad life. My prayer is that those who live in tragedy will find the strength to balance out their life with the beauty of it.”

— Sereno Sky, author of the hippie novels “Lonely Traveller”

“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”
