Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Learning to love: 2 of 34
Love is not an art by itself. There is no course of study that teaches us to love, except for its rudiments such as sensing other people's needs that requires our closest attention.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Who do you think is the most important person ever to live: 4 of 65
By far, in my opinion, the most important person to live was Moses. He was not only the great emancipator, but a law giver, who, not only gave his people the rules (Ten Commandments), but established the groundwork for the institution of justice, based on the Ten Commandments. When he led his people across the vast expanse o... More..

A dog's love is most manifest; It seeks not power to control, Passing every acid test, Playing its own God-given role; So tell me not it has no soul! Misfortune would take not its zest Nor even narrow down its goal To fast remain a friend at best, Though misery might take its toll; So tell me not it has no soul! Friendship b... More..
