You’ll realize that there’s a silence underlying everything. That’s where God lies.” “Seems like it’d be tough to listen to a silent voice.” “That’s why you need to practice meditating.”

humansofnewyork: Last night I was at a YMCA event celebrating the success of its annual Strong Kids fundraising campaign. A video was shown where a man named Anthony explained how he got brain cancer, was paralyzed on the left side of his body, and was rehabilitated by trainers at his local Y. The climatic moment came when Anthony explained how he was so happy that he could hold his son again, because he’d been so afraid that his son would think that he didn’t love him anymore. During the video, Anthony’s son ran out of the audience and started clapping at the screen, Anthony followed close behind him. I am aware that my blog is getting taken over by humansofnewyork. But what else can I do, these posts are SO FREAKING AMAZING!
