Start with a brand new good-morning. To your husband or your wife. To your kids. To those you work with – and don’t work with. What’s the harm? How difficult is it? And it isn’t,...

Money may buy you the means to a happiness, but it cannot buy happiness itself.

I want to remember…Smelling your newness upon this earth. The baby-Jesus smell as Grandma used to put it. Pure. Unsullied. Like the imagined smell in the twirling air of eiderdown feathers spin-floating around the yard...

I travel because life is short, and I will not wait for fear of death or sanctuary to become a prison of my own making.

Enjoy what you are learning and doing. This is one of the hardest concepts in the entire world to understand. Harder yet to put into practice.

Sometimes the best way is to get out of your own way.

There’s 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...

Dream young. Don’t settle for old – for to be old is to be superstitious and without curiosity and always questioning your faith. And be ferocious in your dreaming – run like a sun’s explosion,...

Teach them what you love to do in life. It really doesn’t matter what it is. It never does. Just show them how important a passion is . . .

Let my memories of you be like water on the moon. A beautiful impossibility – but allowing me to sleep and dream of infinite beginnings rather than Othello endings.

Money – it can buy you a moment of glee but not a lifetime of happiness.

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

Take off my clothes and there becomes a man. Take off my skin and there becomes my bones. Break all my bones and there becomes my heart. Smash my heart and there becomes my soul....

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.

Eat Ice Cream. Read Books. Be Happy.

Get someone-anyone-to read books to you. Having books read to you at any age is the supremo ultimato of living.

If you don’t know how to grow old, don’t start learning how to grow old.

So How Much of a THING or THINGS is Enough? And if you have EVERYTHING, have you achieved perfect HAPPINESS?

Old is old at any age. Old is when you quit asking questions about this, that, and everything. Old is when you forget how to love-or worse, don’t care. Old is when you don’t want...

Money can buy you everything to fill your time but it cannot buy time itself. And things are definitely not time.

These Moments Cascade Upon One Another”Here at shepherd’s dusk, in a valley without echo, I listen for you. With a frayed longing, I hear your shadow voice whispering within me from far away. I grasp...

Time. Either you are for it or against it. So be here now. Not later.

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

Remember, it’s still a mystery to be an adult. If you knew it all before eighteen, you’d have nothing to look forward to. Besides, to be wise and eighteen is as possible as catching lightning...

Sometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore.

I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends. I travel for the jolting, angelic act of seeking strangeness and newness and...

Marriage is not the beginning of the journey, nor the end – it is the journey.

Read what you like, not what you’re told to like. That way you’ll read for a lifetime.

It is everything that makes a man. It is everything that makes this man. And that is who I am alive, and that is who I am dead.

Be generous with your life – love deeply, honestly, and without reservation.

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.

Spring is a time to make up a big bouquet of flowers for someone you love, or are trying to love, or are in love with.

I promise to dream with you both great dreams and small dreams. To ask your counsel in times of uncertainty. To honor your silence when you seek to be alone. To be ever wondrous at...

Remember, it’s still a mystery to be an adult. If you knew it all before eighteen, you’d have nothing to look forward to.

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.

HungerYou are only here now, and then you are gone. So be hungry. Hunger toward beauty. Hunger toward love. Hunger towards the unimaginable and unthinkable.

When do you become a man? When you become your own man. When other men trust you to do a man’s work. Trust you with their name, their reputation, their thoughts. Trust you to watch...

Be the same person- with or without money.

You know there’s got to be a better way of life – somewhere, sometime, somehow – but you’re not exactly sure what better is.

MUSIC. Tunneling right down into your CORE and SOULTIME. Hep, sloppy, SEXY and cerebral. Chancy and hip-swinging like ELVIS and your first teenage KISS.

Starting the DayThe Legacy Letters By Carew PapritzSometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore. Starting the day like a job we hate. Beginning it like swallowing ten tablespoons of...

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.

I travel for the great stories now ready tell, and those waiting to be told.

You become a man when, in having children, you not only physically look after and protect them but also protect them with all the love and learning you have to give.

It is you who must someday break through the protective polish of who you are, to become naked and powerful to who you can truly be.

You haven’t seen a thing until you’ve seen this man fight. My sword is sharp. My heart strong. My spirit ferocious – and I am going to live. Let the swords clash. Let the fight...

Sunrise – a time when all truths are still clean and enviable.

Wake up. Be thankful. For whatever happens on this day, you are endlessly given the chance to start again-to be alive. And all of us should wish for that.

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....

I LOVE YOU” If said only when you have to?What good is it to ride a horse if you cannot gallop?What good is it to believe in someone if you doubt your own belief?
