• We Are All the Same
  Listen to the reeds as they sway apart;
  Hear them speak of lost friends.
  At birth, you were cut from your bed,
  Crying and grasping in separation.
  Everyone listens, knowing your song.
  You yearn for others who know your name,
  And the words to your lament.
  We are all the same, all the same,
  Longing to find our way back;
  Back to the one, back to the only one.

  Rumi

• I'm probably less serious about my game than I was in the past. I've lost a brother and father in the past six years. And what about people who have lost friends and comrades in war? Golf is a game. You've got to keep that in perspective.

• One thing is certain: for many of those who came back from WWII, the music of Frank Sinatra was no consolation for their losses. Some had lost friends. Some had lost wives and lovers. All had lost portions of their youth. More important to the Sinatra career the girls started marrying the men who came home. Bobby socks vanished from many closets. The girls who wore them had no need anymore for imaginary lovers; they had husbands. Nothing is more embarrassing to grownups than the passions of adolescence, and for many, Frank Sinatra was the passion.

• Why is it we love so fully what has washed up on the beaches
  of our hearts, those lost messages, lost friends, the daylight stars
  we never get to see? Bad luck never takes a vacation, my friend
  once wrote. It lies there among the broken shells and stones
  we collect, a story he would say begins with you, with me,
  a story that is forever lost among the backwaters of our lives,
  our endless fear of ourselves, and our endless need for hope,
  a story, perhaps an answer, a word suddenly on wing, the simple
  sound of a torn heart, or the unmistakable scent of the morning's fading moon.

  Richard Jackson
