Pursue without interfering.
What better can parents and children give to each other than respectful, understanding attention.
Give no man sympathy because he has to work - it is his blessing that he can.
Freedom cannot always continue in comfort and convenience, cannot be assured without sacrifice, without truth and decency, without willingness to work, without downright honesty and honor, and readiness to keep the commandments and live within the law. . . there is no liberty without a real respect for law; no liberty if we forget God, or fail to remember the principles on which freedom is founded.
All things need watching, working at, caring for, and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be indifferently treated or abused, or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention, care and concern, and esp. . . ecially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life.
One of our urgent opportunities is to respond to a child when he earnestly asks, remembering that they don't always ask.

I ached once, hard, like a period typed at the end of a sentence.
I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I'd be doing this if it weren't for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I'd share it now
I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.
