Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The old tire swing would hurl me out over the creek on one side of the oak tree, fling me up into blue skies on the other, and allow me to effortlessly soar over the ground that lay in-between. But to take such a glorious ride I had to trust the tree to hold me, and the rope to secure me. Yet much like life itself, I had to trust that the disappointment of missing such an exhilarating ride as this would cast the concerns of both tree and rope as the incidental risk required of any great journey. Otherwise, creek and sky and soaring between both would have been a hope of the old tire swing, but never a reality.”

“when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth.”

“On earth, we are like chess dice in the hands of the master. At each tweak, he decides which dice leads first. On his weakness, his own gets defeated. We are like the farmer who has planted and toiled, but on the day of rest, the rain sweeps everything away. All the labor, the hard work – all gone, and never to return as before. We are like the flowers that blossom each day, but then the floods sweep them away. We are left with nothing but heartbreak, sadness, and grief. Hoping to recover, but time doesn't heal anything. We are nothing here, nothing on earth, nothing in this world. Let each of us await his own time. Until then, YOLO.”
