There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That's how light gets in.
Leonard Cohen "Anthem"
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours." -Ayn Rand
SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
FRODO: What are we holding on to, Sam?
SAM: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Hello, Danville Glynns family.
My name is Bow. I'm Bew oldest sister. I'm very glad that your family are being very kind with Bew. I think she's going to have a great experience spending time in the Us with your family. Bew is very talkative person. She always make me laugh and I also think that when she can speak English fluently you will have to tell her to stop talking :). I was an exchange student last year too. I went to Nevada that's why I know how it's feel to be away from home, however I think I make a good dicision for going to the Us. that's the reason I recomened Bew to take this opportunity. If you have any quesion about our family please feel free to ask. I will be very happy to talk with you. When I first see your block me and my family are very exciting about you. Because You all seem to be a very nice and warmth host family. If you feel like you want to come to Thailand We will be very happy to take care you and your family. I will let my dad see your blog but I don't know is it ok for me to leave a comment for you like this if you not comfotable with it you can tell Bew. I'm looking forward to seeing your blog again.
Sincerly
Bow (Chalita Lohakup)
