• When you live in the present moment, time stands still. Accept your circumstances and live them. If there is an experience ahead of you, have it! But if worries stand in your way, put them off until tomorrow. Give yourself a day off from worry. You deserve it. Some people live with a low-grade anxiety tugging at their spirit all day long. They go to sleep with it, wake up with it, carry it around at home, in town, to church, and with friends. Here's a remedy: Take the present moment and find something to laugh at. People who laugh, last.

• Si tuviera que criar a mi hijo otra vez,pintaría más con los dedos y señalaría menos.Corregiría menos y conectaría más.Dejaría de mirar el reloj y miraría con los ojos.Me preocuparía menos de saber y sabría más de preocuparme.Haría más excursiones y volaría más cometas.Dejaría de jugar a ser serio y jugaría en serio.Correría por más campos y miraría más las estrellas.Abrazaría más y tiraría menos.Sería firme menos a menudo y afirmaría menos.Dejaría de jugar en serio, y jugaría en serio.Correría por más campos, y contemplaría más estrellas.Haría más abrazos, y menos tirones.Sería firme menos a menudo, y afirmaría mucho más.Construiría primero la autoestima, y la casa después.Enseñaría menos sobre el amor al poder, y más sobre el poder del amor.

• Y, en ese momento, para algunos de nosotros siempre habrá un tirón en el corazón, sabiendo que un momento precioso se había ido y nosotros no estábamos allí. Podemos pedir y pedir, pero no podemos volver a tener lo que una vez pareció nuestro para siempre: el aspecto de las cosas, esa iglesia sola en el campo, una cama en el suelo del campanario, una voz recordada, un rostro amado. Se han ido y sólo puedes esperar a que pase el dolor.

• Sentí ese hilo que se había interpuesto entre nosotros, tirando, tirando de mi corazón, tan fuerte, que me dolía. Cien veces estuve a punto de levantarme, de ir hacia ella; cien veces pensé: ¡Ve hacia ella! ¿Por qué esperas? Vuelve a su lado. Pero cada vez pensaba en lo que pasaría si lo hacía. Sabía que no podría tumbarme a su lado, sin querer tocarla. No podría haber sentido su aliento en mi boca, sin querer besarla. Y no podría haberla besado sin querer salvarla.
