| a3a7204 | Belonging: Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it.

| 7108446 | You know something? There are sandstorms that strip man and horse and bury them -- I've seen them.
