The things you don't know or understand are as important as your desire to know them. This is the relationship of man to mystery.

Starting the day - Another chance to be new again.How many of us still wish for that?To be your own sunrise.To awaken like a prayer - both solemn and joyful at still being alive.

Enjoy the RIDE NOW. You'll be SUCCESSFUL later, however YOU define SUCCESS.

Remember, Little Ones, everything is not important all the time. Only living is important all the time. Not things. Not money. Not more things and more endless money. Spend well the quality of your time. And yes, be greedy with your hours. If only to then give those hours away as the most precious gifts you have to offer to yourself, your family, and your friends. And yes, to my Little Ones._ __rom The Legacy Letters___he Everything and Nothing of Money.

Kids. They're not tin cans or sheetrock. They're laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go.

There are hard days to live. You awake to a day when you feel you've done it all before, and you're going to do it again, so why do it at all.

There__ so much to learn. So much to enjoy. So terribly much to be curious about. Take your life and run with it. Make a habit of being alive. This much of anything, I have learned. And am still learning.

Money-it can buy your kids anything, but it cannot teach them love, respect, and the true value of living life without things.

Don__ spoil kids by trying to buy them off, to buy their time. Kids aren__ stupid. They know a bribe when they see one. They want a parent not a payoff.

Remember, Little Ones, everything is not important all the time. Only living is important all the time. Not things. Not money. Not more things and more endless money. Spend well the quality of your time. And yes, be greedy with your hours. If only to then give those hours away as the most precious gifts you have to offer to yourself, your family, and your friends.

Don__ have kids until you__e ready. And when you do have them, have them all the way. They aren__ like some Cadillac that you can turn back into the dealership after three years.

It__ a heck of a responsibility to look after a spirit. So give kids the best of who you are. That__ the most you can ever do.

I can FEEL her next to me. This UNION. Of WARMTH. Of CARING. Of the INDESCRIBABLE. As if there were NO PARTING and NEVER could be.

I travel because it makes me realize how much I haven't seen, how much I'm not going to see, and how much I still need to see."- The Legacy Letters, by Carew Papritz

I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends.

Respect both what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Respect mystery, for mystery is still needed to run the universe." -- The Legacy Letters, by Carew Papritz"Things I didn't know.

I remember once kissing you, your face lit by northern stars. Promising to grow old with you, and now so simply breaking the promise.
