values in transit

so i thought of about a million blog posts today. but i've been up and on the go for 15 hours now and i just don't have the energy to sift through all my ideas. instead, as i was putting books away in my room i pulled out my senior sem journal from vienna. a collection of quotes from that journal (i think they pretty much sum up ALL of the day's ideas anyway):

i don't want you to waste your precious lives on something that doesn't count -rev. karl reko-

God has already told you what to do... He gave you skills and intends for you to USE them. - rev. karl reko-

never think you're one of them... never forget who you are or where you're from. -rev. karl reko-

wash out this tired notion that the best is yet to come. -dave matthews band

Jesus did not ask how often people went to church, but what they DID. -rev. herz-

life is short, we must move very slowly... -naomi shihab nye-

whatever choices you make should come from your heart... try not to just go with the flow... i don't want to live with i-should-haves because i was too afraid to make choices, because i was too afraid to leave a comfortable life. -mickela moore-

when we become aware of our humanness, it makes a difference... be aware that you are not superman... live accordingly. - rev. wiberg-

what i love the most is meeting people. that to me is more valuable than sightseeing. -doc hemenway-

everytime you make a decision in favor of something, you decide against something else... you don't really know where you're going to end up, you can only make individual decisions along the way... but you'll find where you end up isn't such a surprise after all. -brian gibbs-

get comfortable with not knowing. -brian gibbs-
