I give thanks for a lifetime of ceaseless sorrow, suffering and pain, for the man manifested things that go bump and boom in the night, for its relentless barrage of greed and savage barbarism; because of it I have wept all my tears and now all I can do is laugh, because of it I have faced all my fears and now all I can BE is LOVE; for far better the madness of LOVE, than the insanity of fear.

just LOVE…
Kip Baldwin
