The Apple Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.Time went by... the Rack shelvinglittle boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came backeq2 plat after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”

“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” LV So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said. “I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied Paper Cup Machine.“No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now,” the boy said. “I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, cut to length line and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.

Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus.pql

A Timeless Letter of Comfort

We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, Louis Vuittonas evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our free dom. we cannot walk alone. and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking thed evotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?"

we can never buy wow accountsbe satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as then egro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in miss is sip pi cannot vote and a negro in new y o rk believes he has nothing for which to vote.

no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not bes at is fied until justice rolls downbuy wow accounts like waters and right eous ness like a mighty stre am .i am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. some of you have come fresh from narrow w cells. some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality.you have been theve terans of creative suffering. continue to workbuy aion kinah with the fai ththat unearned suffering is red emp tive .go back to miss is sippi, go back to alab ama, go back to georgia,go back to louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of ourno rthern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can andwill be changed.

let us not wallow in the valley of despair.i say to you today, my friends, that in spite of thedifficulties and frustrations of the moment, i still have adream. it is a dream deeply rooted in the american dream.i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and liveout the true meaning of its creed: "we hold these truths to beself-evident: that all men are created equal."i have a dream that one day on the red hills of georgia the sonsof former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be ableto sit down together at a table of brother hood.i have a dream that one day even the state of miss is sip pi, adesert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppress sion, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and just ice.i have a dream that my four children will one day live inShower Enclosures anation where they will not be judged by the color of their skinbut by the content of their character.i have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of ala bama, who sego vernor's lips are presently dripping with the words of inter position and nullification, will be transformed into where little black boys and black girls will be a bleto join hands with little white boys and white girls and walkto gether as sisters and brothers .i have a dream today.i have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will bem ade plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed. pql

Can it really be sixty-two years ago Replica Watches that I first saw you?It is truly a lifetime, I know.

I knew. I knew that I wanted to share therest of my life with you.

I still think of how foolish I must have looked, as I gazed at you,that first time. I remember watching you intently, as you took off yourhat tiffany jewelryand loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers. I feltmyself becoming immersed in your every detail, as you placed your haton the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea, gentlyblowing the steam away with your pouted lips.

From that moment, everything seemed to make perfect sense to me. Thepeople in the café and the busy street outside all disappeared into ahazy blur. All I could see was you.All through my life I have relived that very first day. Many, manytimes I have sat and thought about that the first day, and how for afew fleeting moments I am there, feeling again what is like buy cheap wow goldto know true love for the very first time. It pleases me that I can still havethose feelingsnow after all those years, and I know I will always havethem to comfort me.

Not even as I shook and trembled uncontrollably in the trenches, did Iforget your face. I would sit huddled into the wet mud, terrified, asthe hails of bullets and mortars crashed down around me. I would clutchmy rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day wemet. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me.But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, every thing around me would be become silent, and I would be with you again for afew precious moments, far from thecheap wow accounts death and destruction. It would notbe until I opened my eyes once again, that I would see and hear thecarn age of the war around me.

Think It Over

It is cold, so bitter cold, on this dark, winter day in 1942. But it is no different from any other day in this Nazi concentration camp. I stand shivering in my thin rags, still in disbelief that this nightmare is happening. I am just a young boy. I should be playing with friends; I should be going to school; I should be looking forward to cheap wow gold a future, to growing up and marrying, and having a family of my own. But those dreams are for the living, and I am no longer one of them. Instead, I am almost dead, surviving from day to day, from hour to hour, ever since I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands other Jews. Will I still be alive tomorrow? Will I be taken to the gas chamber tonight?

Back and forth I walk next to the barbed wire fence, trying to keep my emaciated body warm. I am hungry, but I have been hungry for longer than I want to remember. I am always hungry. Edible food seems like buy wow gold a dream. Each day as more of us disappear, the happy past seems like a mere dream, and I sink deeper and deeper into despair. Suddenly, I notice a young girl walking past on the other side of the barbed wire. She stops and looks at me with sad eyes, eyes that seem to say that she understands, that she, too, cannot fathom why I am here. I want to look away, oddly ashamed for this stranger to see me like this, but I cannot tear my eyes from hers.

Then she reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a red apple. A beautiful, shiny red apple. Oh, how long has it been since I have seen one! She looks cautiously to the left and to the right, and then with a smile of triumph, quickly throws the apple tiffany over the fence. I run to pick it up, holding it in my trembling, frozen fingers. In my world of death, this apple is an expression of life, of love. I glance up in time to see the girl disappearing into the distance.

The next day, I cannot help myself-I am drawn at the same time to that spot near the fence. Am I crazy for hoping she will come again? Of course. But in here, I cling to any tiny scrap of hope. She has given me hope wow buy gold and I must hold tightly to it.

And again, she comes. And again, she brings me an apple, flinging it over the fence with that same sweet smile.This time I catch it, and hold it up for her to see. Her eyes twinkle. Does she pity me? Perhaps. I do not care, though. I am just so happy to gaze at her. And for the first time in so long, I feel my heart move with emotion.

For seven months, we meet like this. Sometimes we exchange a few words. Sometimes, cheapest wow goldjust an apple. But she is feeding more than my belly, this angel from heaven. She is feeding my soul. And somehow, I know I am feeding hers as well.One day, I hear frightening news: we are being shipped to another camp. This could mean the end for me. And it definitely means the end for me and my friend.The next day when I greet her, my heart is breaking, and I can barely speak as I say what must be said: "Do not bring me an apple tomorrow," I tell her. "I am being sent to another camp. We will never see each other again." Turning before I lose all control, I run away from the fence. I cannot bear to look back. If I did, I know she would see me standing there, cheapest wow gold with tears streaming down my face.Months pass and the nightmare continues. But the memory of this girl sustains me through the terror, the pain, the hopelessness. Over and over in my mind, I see her face, her kind eyes, I hear her gentle words, I taste those apples. pql
