May 20th, 2009.

Young people learn valuable lessons

from the stories of Lear and Hagar.

Be patient with those who are blind

“Some people will tell you that the old live in the past

—that’s non-sense” (Laurence 5).

“…if you have poison for me…”(4:7:182)

Forgive those

who can

not forgive

themselves.

“No cause, no cause”

(4:7:86)

Family love is unconditional love

“…it hurts me just as much as it does you…” (Laurence 10)

“…I think this…To be my child…”

(4:7:78-79).

Let yourself grow !
