A man walked down a beach, and came across a young boy throwing a starfish back into the ocean. The beach was littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, from the recent tide. “You’ll never get all these back in the ocean, young man - do you think you’re making any difference?”, he said.

The Dark Night of the Soul
by Saint John of the Cross
Upon a darkened night The flame of love was burning in my breast And by a lantern bright I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Shrouded by the night And by the secret stair I quickly fled The veil concealed my eyes While all within lay quiet as the dead.
(Chorus)
O, night thou was my guide! O, night more loving than the rising sun! O, night that joined the...

Bike to the Beach/DC ride was a great success! →
Hello All! I want to let you all know that the Bike to the Beach/DC ride was a great success! And yes, I finished! In 104 scorching degrees, the hottest day of the year on DC. It was a day-long event for me, but worth every second. I am so lucky to have had so many cheerleaders on Facebook and amazing donations to keep me going. “One mile at a time”, Team Parvizian and I I rode...

The Mad Tea Party
Ch. 7 - A Mad Tea-Party
‘You might just as well say that “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”!’
‘You should learn not to make personal remarks,’ Alice said with some severity; ‘it’s very rude.’
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, ‘Why is a raven like a writing-desk?’
‘Come, we shall have some fun now!’ thought Alice. ‘I’m glad...
