beyond our wishes

Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.

Oh this is wonderful. Makes me want to clap and dance in appreciation.

I read Goethe the way I read Shakespeare - with mind, eyes, and heart wide open.

He never fails to fill each with wisdom and song. Thanks for sharing a post that I hadn't thought about for a long time.

Too long. I've written it down on the inside of my favorite planner now, though - so it'll never get away from me again!
