Paul is still as loveable, gentle and kind as he has always been.

"Thomas Aquinas, who knew a great deal about gentleness,
once said that when you want to convert someone to your view,
go over to them, take them by the hand and guide them.
You don't stand at a distance and shout at them;
You don't call them names or demand that they come to where you are.
You must start from where they are.
That's the best way, he assures us, to get them to rethink their viewpoint and perhaps change their position.

While it is true that most people respect strength,
they don't always associate it with gentleness.
But it is always from strenght that gentleness arises.
It is always from strenght that we learn not to condemn weakness or fear or anger.

Strength encourages us to empathize,
to be more adaptable and make allowances.
If we really wish to bring someone into our hearts and minds,
a little gentleness is a powerful attraction."

Paul - you are the Greatest!
I love you very much.
