When I was a boy, I would always hear scary things in the news and my mother would say to me, "Always look for the helpers. Everywhere you look you will always find people helping." - Fred Rogers

How pleasant the arrival of the sunshine heals.
How seldom I experience how this grand light feels.
It washes away my tears and my woe.
Pure joy runs through me the warmth washes over.
I throw away my masks, and the song escapes my lungs.



How wondrous! How beautiful! The breathtaking day!
Illuminating my eyes as I discover this world!
The glory and wonder of the sun unfurled!
As the tears wash to nothing I can't help but see.
Oh, this is a new dawn, a new horizon for me.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
