small pieces of silver
"life is made of moments,
small pieces of silver
amid long stretches of gravel...
learn to be happy.
learn to look at all
the good in this world
and to give some of it back,
because you believe in it
so passionately..."

i had two thoughts when i first read this quote:
thought one: wow, i like that.
thought two: when one of my good friends was in elementary school, someone kicked up some gravel near her and she got a tiny fleck of metal stuck in her eye. she had to be strapped down to a stretcher so a doctor could tweeze it out. can you imagine the horror of that??
