Like The Sun

“In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers. It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race… there is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.” ~ Thomas Merton

"It seems only yesterday I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I could shine."

~ Billy Collins

Bishes...

That you shine...

Not because you can, but because YOU DO.
