Stories About Sanity

This month’s blog is quotes I’ve saved that have helped me over the years – with very short stories to illustrate. I threw in some pics and dropdown text, because this is a website 😉. Will these make you sane? Am I sane?

son and father at Dave's wedding in Greece

If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

William Penn

Down a narrow street in Athens…

In Greece for my brother’s wedding, my brave and tough father was relying on a machine to deliver medicine through vapor. The machine stopped working. I went wandering the labyrinth streets of Athens and found a little repair shop. The man inside spoke only Greek, but he took apart the machine and fixed it for a modest fee. Then he sent me off with a box of spare fuses. There are good people everywhere. We already loved Athens and even more after that. I still have the box of fuses.

The Water Lies

With the sun you see
Cool peace revealed
Inside a rushing river.
Courses clash
Into prisms; a thousand
Facets in a flash
Show it to you. Oh,
They tickle
You downstream
As you go
Where the gathering
Lights make lighter
And pop you up to heaven.
