Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

My mum always told me if you can count your true friends on the fingers of one hand you are rich.
Some people just pass through our lives but make an impression all the same..

A beautiful quote, and so true. The photograph is very fitting. I totally agree with Sheila - my mom told me the same thing.
