Thanks Martha. I love that.
That choked me up. I tend to substitute "the universe" with God, but that's my preference. Thank you for that.

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.” Stephen King
It takes more courage to tell the truth or stand up for what is right, and garners much more respect, than lying or being a silent observer of a wrongdoing.

Welcome to Android Forums, cky4lag1!
Excellent advice.
That's amazing!
Since its location is shown as Pasadena, the address he gave probably took place there--which is literally right next door to where I live. Pasadena's main library is one of my favorite places in the world--and they have a vast collection of newspapers on microfiche. Since the date is known, I wonder if I could find a more complete rundown on that speech. I'd love to read a transcript of it!
How on earth did you stumble upon that article?

Remember where you first stepped on earth for, do not forget your roots, even if it is cyber or even underneath your feet. Smile big, you have made it this far.
When people ask me how the Darling Bride and I can still hold hands everywhere we go and truly enjoy being together after 29 years of marriage, I give them two nuggets of wisdom that have served us well over the decades.
#1 - Love is not a noun. It's not something you can have or possess; it's not some proverbial "hole" you fall into or jump out of. Love is a VERB: it's an action you deliberately choose to take, every day, whether you feel like it or not. You may not be happy with that person today... you may be in the middle of a heated argument. But through it all, choose to LOVE, no matter what. Arguments come and go - but love endures.
#2 - I finally learned the five magic words to a long and happy marriage relationship:
"Sorry, Honey, I was wrong"
That's it! It seems so easy, yet pride often stops us from just saying it! Even if I know I'm right, I'm wrong. I don't have to prove it, and trying to do so makes things worse. Saying I'm wrong diffuses arguments and allows her to drop her defenses. That opens the door to communication... and communication is everything in a relationship.
I hope this helps someone out there in internet land...

Sometimes you do feel trap by looking at old photographs, and cannot think of yourself right now.

Yeah, @MoodyBlues I can relate - but I think that meme was designed by a woman, for men. THIS is what men get to deal with...
Ha ha, no, actually I heard it from a man, many years ago on a talk show. When I started one of my CafePress shops, I used a collection I'd kept of pithy sayings for its designs. Believe me, I'm an 'equal opportunity abuser' (as Judge Judy would say)!
Check out my husband/wife divorce designs:
Boy is that always true
ALWAYS under-promise and over-deliver. It's easy to do what you say you will do (although dreadfully few people actually do that anymore) - do MORE than you say. Do it better, and sooner. People are going to talk about you to others: you can't control that. Give them every reason to speak well of you, and scant few reasons to speak poorly of you. Don't be that person being taken to the cemetery with only one other car in the procession... live your life to be a blessing to all.
Strive to learn something new, about something, every day. No matter the subject: look at something, ponder it, and learn about it. Know something about everything; know a lot about a few things, and master two things. This has served me well in life, as I can hold my own in virtually any conversation.

Do not let anyone know what you are able to do, do not let anyone able to fiddle around on control.
Do let your folks know you are okay, and love them, hold into the treasures they cherrish of your understanding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_for_a_Nun I run into this while exploring the entire huge backstory, of Rusty Lake games, one of the infamous quotes is "The past is not even in the past." It is said of a talking Crow, in the series. It has become a bit of a mental bible for me lately.
