Welp, it took me a couple weeks to reconcile.. but this is what 55 looks like. Funny, this is not how I see myself and I get a little shocked when I actually take time to SEE myself in the mirror. In my mind I’m perpetually 26.

Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal… To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.

I needed to hear this and I thought maybe someone else might also need it..

The mind has two states: restless and serene. When the mind is serene, the reality of God is reflected in it.
