“The greatness of a nation
consists not so much
in the number of its people
or the extent of its territory
as in the extent
and justice of its compassion.”
– Inscription at the Horse Memorial in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for horses killed in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902).
“There is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love. Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power. Only strive for power, if it is not at the cost (expense) of other men (people). Power corrupts. You first have to be pure and righteous before one can attain power. I believe that love is a greater force than power.”
– Alan Paton, great South African humanitarian and author of the greatly moving book ‘Cry the Beloved Country’ (1946).

All our dreams can come true…if we have the desire (burning), determination, courage, passion, persistence and patience* to pursue them (and it’s often through the very dark places where they may lead)…long enough.”

“Bridge Over Troubled Water”
The words and song symbolise “the (my) long and winding road that is the writing journey”
https://craigswritingjourney.wordpress.com/
“Bridge Over Troubled Water”
When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

“SHARE, ENCOURAGE and SPREAD, HOPE, LOVE and LIGHT”
The Driver, The Nurse and the Writer
A story of acceptance (and reconciliation)…and the varied forms of love.
“Just as history is sometimes known as ‘His story’ , life itself is God’s novel; so let God, the Ultimate Source, the Ground
of All Being write the very best, never-ending story of possibility, that is your unique journey down the river of life.”
