more. The best language is silence. We live in a time of a terrible inflation
of words, and it is worse than the inflation of money.

two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every
color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind,

flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that
you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the
fire.

18. Celebration of the Human Voice--- When it is
genuine, when it is born of the need to speak, no one can stop the human voice.
When denied a mouth, it speaks with the hands or the eyes, or the pores, or
anything at all. Because every single one of us has something to say to the
others, something that deserves to be celebrated or forgiven by others.

With affection,
Ruben
