The price tag for joy is misery. [...]”

Where else would you want to be?”

We went to wonderful schools. We just had a great life and I'm ever grateful for it.”

Having no slavish yoke about his neck.”

“Happy Holidays
Is it not this day to smile?
Is it yet a time to give?
Is this friend as old as good?
Is my family so well?
Santa is just on his way,
Bringing gifts and love tonight,
Have a prosperous New Year!
And a happy day to last!”
“Happy Holidays (The Sonnet)
Spirit of Christmas doesn't grow on a fir tree,
Christmas blooms wherever the heart is hatefree.
Ramadan isn't fulfilled by feasting on some tasty beef,
The greatest of feast is haram if others go hungry.
Hanukkah's miracle isn't about the oil lasting 8 days,
Rather it's about the resilience of light amidst darkness.
Fireworks may be diwali for those still in kindergarten,
Everyday is diwali for an existence rooted in kindness.
The will to love and the will to lift are the backbone,
Of all human celebration, tradition and communion.
Take that fundamental will out of the equation,
All you have left are rituals without meaning and mission.
Fasting, feasting and decorating are step two of any festival.
First and foremost, at our altar within, we gotta light a candle.”

"Well"-he smiles slyly and wiggles his eyebrows-"if you insist". Every time, it's the same thing. Leaning in, he rubs his hands together expectantly. The drinking age in New York State was raised last year, so technically, I suppose, this is still illegal for my grandson. But the Jews didn't spend forty years wandering the desert so that I could forfeit a gin and tonic with my progeny...”

Something that's happy can only truly go in one direction, whereas with something like distress, anger, trauma, there are so many more interesting possibilities that those emotions can create.”
“Happy is entirely up to you and always has been.”

“Happy is he alone, to whom the Lord imputeth not
sin. To have Him propitious to me, against whom alone
I have sinned, suffices for all my righteousness. If my
iniquity is great, Thy grace is much greater. When my
soul is troubled at the view of its sinfulness, I look at Thy
mercy , and am refreshed. It is a common good ; is
offered to all ; and he only who rejects it, is deprived of
its benefits. Let him rejoice who feels himself a wretch
deserving of perpetual damnation ; for the grace of Jesus
exceeds the number of all crimes. There is no sin greater
than to despair of the forgiveness of sin ; for God is kind
and merciful, ready to forgive.”
“Happy is he who can give himself up.”
“Happy is he who causes a scandal”
