We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it.

But it's tough to work with, especially when you get the curly koa. Because of the complexity of the grain, it's a very challenging wood. Mango is a fabulous wood and it's underrated. For some reason, it doesn't carry the influence that koa does. Mango is some beautiful wood. I work some 30 varieties, generally, because I love the variety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
