I am here for Friends

About Me


just trying to stumble the good stumble.

all man's miseries derive from not being
able to sit quietly in a room alone.
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

i am quite sure there is a God,
in the sense that i am sure my love is no illusion
i am quite sure there is no God
in the sense that i am sure there is nothing
which resembles what i conceive when i say the word.
Simone Weil, Waiting For God

Heroes:



mister rogers was so uncompromisingly vulnerable and genuine
when our generation hides behind irony and sarcasm

mister rogers was so unashamedly astonished and amazed at life
when our generation hides behind jadedness, afraid to show delight

mister rogers was gentle, welcoming and peaceful, with no tinge of hypocrisy
he told us forthrightly that we had worth, that we were loveable, and capable of loving

here are two of my favorite mister rogers links (both have made me cry every time):

the npr series, this american life, featured mister rogers in a episode entitled neighbors

has a moving array of stories and encounters from mister rogers' life
