Do not be hardened by the pain and cruelty of this world — L.R.Knost

L.R. Knost

Do not be hardened by the pain and cruelty of this world.

Be strong enough to be gentle, to be soft and supple like running water, gracefully bending around sudden turns, lithely waving in strong winds, freely flowing over sharp rocks.

All the while quietly sculpting this hard world into ever deeper beauty, gently eroding rigid rock into silken sand, tenderly transforming human cruelty into human kindness.

Remember, true strength is not found in the stone, but in the water that shapes the stone.
