God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time�
Trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the Next.

Amen.

Reinhold Niebuhr
1892-1971

"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
-Reinhold Niebuhr

The darkness is death - we can speak, but we are not heard. We can scream but they turn their backs. We can run, but we cannot catch them. It is the dream where arms and legs won't work they way they should, and the air is too thick to breathe. Loved ones walk a mile ahead, forgetting to stop as we fall behind. This is the reality of the darkness. We are buried alive inside ourselves. "
- Dana-Christene Umanetz

"The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night."
- Nietzsche
