“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” - Robert Fulghum


“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must of felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.” - Alexandre Dumas

“We are all born for love…It is the principle of existence, and its only end.”
- Benjamin Disraeli

[rockybcn]

There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is a sorrow beyond grief which leads to joy
and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open
to the place inside which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing.
~ Rashani

[Trev]

"Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it."

"And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning."
~Isaac Asimov

"A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart."
~Leo F. Buscaglia

"Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.” ― Fulton J. Sheen



“A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen

[Genesis]

After A While

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and
company doesn't mean security,
And you learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your hand open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrows ground is uncertain for plans
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if
you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own
soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you
flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

by Veronica Shoffstall

Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Franz Kafka

[MegBluEyz]

"Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require
that you continually have
the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain."
~Leo Buscaglia~

"Are not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at you meet another human being who has some inkling. . .of that something which you were born desiring, and which beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for?" - C.S. Lewis

"You wake up in the morning and your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive." - Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett


"You can live your life in two ways: As if everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle." - Albert Einstein.





"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau

[MegBluEyz]

“In this life we are all just walking up the mountain and we can sing as we climb or we can complain about our sore feet. Whichever we choose, we still gotta do the hike. I decided a long time ago singing made a lot more sense.”

"Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?."
~Oscar Hammerstein

"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly."
~Richard Bach

"Know your limits, but never accept them."
~Unknown

[Trev]

“To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.”
~Taylor Swift

[Genesis]

"I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way than this:

where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
― Pablo Neruda

You are stronger than any sadness you'll ever feel and you are braver than any fear you'll ever face and you matter more than you could ever believe.

[Genesis]

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)" ~ E.E. Cummings

"There us a candle in your heart ready to be kindled,
There is a void in your soul ready to be filled,
You feel it, don't you?
You feel the separation from the Beloved
Invite Him in to fill you up, embrace the fire
Remind those who tell you otherwise that
Love comes to you of its own accord and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school." - Rumi

[GraffitiBoi]

You are what happened when I wished upon a star.

Everyone has a weakness, you just happen to be mine.

I'm slow to trust but I'm quick to love. I push too hard and I give too much. I'm not saying I'm perfect, But I promise I'm worth it.

If you're willing to chase me, I promise to run slow.

And if I have a chance, would you let me know?

"Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle would be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches. For a moment we are dazzled by an intense emotion. A pleasant warmth grows within us, fading slowly as time goes by, until a new explosion comes along to revive it. Each person has to discover what will set off those explosions in order to live, since the combustion that occurs when one of them is ignited is what nourishes the soul. That fire, in short, is its food. If one doesn't find out in time what will set off these explosions, the box of matches dampens, and not a single match will ever be lighted."
— Laura Esquivel (Like Water for Chocolate)

“We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?” ― Elizabeth Gilbert


“Each man lives for himself, uses his freedom to achieve his personal goals, and feels with his whole being that right now he can or cannot do such-and-such an action; but as soon as he does it, this action, committed at a certain moment in time, becomes irreversible, and makes itself the property of history, in which is has not a free but a predestined significance. ” ― Leo Tolstoy

[Genesis]

"Love, is like a drop of water in a glass,
is a long walk without talking,
is a fruit for two.

Love, is a space where there is no place
for anything other than to love,
it's something between you and me.

Love is to mourn when we say goodbye,
love is to dream hearing a song,
love is when you pray with all your being,
it's you forgiving me and me understanding you.

Love is stopping time on a clock,
is finding a place to hear your voice,
love is to create a world between the two,
it's you forgiving me and me understanding you.

Love, is a honey flavored mouth,
it is a rainy evening,
it is an umbrella for two.

Love, is a space where there is no place,
for anything other than to love,
is something between you and me."

~Song by José Luis Perales

Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

"At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, All the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, Everything was transformed and enchanted, everything made sense."
~Herman Hesse

"After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts. And presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with you head up and your eyes open. With the grace of maturity, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on. Today because tommorow's ground is too uncertain for plans, And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong. And that you really do have worth. And you learn and learn and learn... With every goodbye you learn."

[ArkansasBoi]

I guess to some extent, you get used to being alone. You get used to not expecting phone calls & having nothing to do at night. You don’t expect to turn around to open arms any longer. The small sounds of her have been replaced by silence. Your thoughts echo through your head, with no one to share them with. All in all, being alone isn’t terrible, it just hurts like hell…

[FemmeItalian]

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.

Conscience is a man's compass. Vincent Van Gogh

[Genesis]

I'd rather have the thought of you
To hold against my heart,
My spirit to be taught of you
With west winds blowing,
Than all the warm caresses
Of another love's bestowing,
Or all the glories of the world
In which you had no part.

I'd rather have the theme of you
To thread my nights and days,
I'd rather have the dream of you
With faint stars glowing,
I'd rather have the want of you,
The rich, elusive taunt of you
Forever and forever and forever unconfessed
Than claim the alien comfort
Of any other's breast.

O lover! O my lover,
That this should come to me!
I'd rather have the hope of you,
Ah, Love, I'd rather grope for you
Within the great abyss
Than claim another's kiss-
Alone I'd rather go my way
Throughout eternity.

“It was the best first kiss in the history of first kisses. It was as sweet as sugar. And it was warm, as warm as pie. The whole world opened up and I fell inside.

I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully.


Tom Hiddleston
:superman::supermanbooth::cheerleader:

[Genesis]

Borrowed a box of broken dreams
and picked through a few,
but none fit the hole within my chest,
so I tucked a few just out of view

and to the hopeless, I gave the rest.
My feet led me to where I'll sleep tonight,
so arriving I sat and leaned against the wall,
as the rain it fell like a symphony
in an abandoned concert hall,

The wind it seems to call your name
or perhaps that's just what I would like to hear,
and the shadows deceive, for I do believe,
sometimes I can see you standing there.
Standing off to the corner,
just on the edge of my field of view,
smiling and asking where have I been,

God knows, I'd tell you if I knew,
My memories are what’s broken,
that and everything else that makes me whole,
an incomplete disaster,
a staggering body without a soul,
in search of what I once was,
and hoping that I'll never find that place,

longing to go back just one more time,
to make up for my mistakes,
But the wind it seems to call your name,
or perhaps that's just what I would like to hear,
and the shadows deceive for I do believe,
sometimes I can see you standing there.

So I'll keep on stumbling forward,
as I fall backwards once again
and keep an eye out for you my love,
I'll keep searching for my friend,

On the breeze I'll hear them whisper,
your name so very soft
and perhaps I'll borrow a broken dream
that someone else has lost

For the wind it seems to call your name,
or perhaps that's just what I would like to hear,
and the shadows deceive, for I do believe,
sometimes I can see you standing there.

AFTER A WHILE (Veronica Shoftshall, 1971)

After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept
your defeats
with your head up
and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman,
not the grief of a child

And you learn to build
all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way
of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.

And you learn
that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

[Ms. Meander]

You are terrifying
and strange and

[firecat242]

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

“Whenever you behave in a way that is inconsistent with your ideal of your very best behavior, you experience a negative self-image. Because you feel yourself to be performing below your best, below what you truly aspire to. Over time it adds up, the roots of depression.”
― Brian Tracy



“Confidence is a life ingredient that is essential to success and wholeness. It is perhaps the single most important trait that enables seemingly average people to do and become all that they can." -Steve Goodier


“When you lack confidence, what you're really saying is, I need those people over there to approve of me. That is the desire to control other people and what they think. Those who exude confidence will tell you, they look only to them selves and their actions for approval.” - Marly Stoval

[Genesis]

"You, always the same, you
Friendship, tenderness,
I can’t describe it….
You’ve been like my shadow, you
The story of love
that never was…

You, eternally mine, you
A hotel, your body
You, my secret friend, you
A rush of passion
Early morning love
There exists no bond
between you and me
nothing of love
nothing at all

You, the same as yesterday
The unconditional one
who asked nothing of me
You, the same as yesterday
the one I didn’t know how to love
…I don’t know why

You, so intense, you
Solitude, affection,
I can’t describe it….
You, the hours I felt my lowest, you
The body of a woman
A pair of white roses

There exists no bond
between you and me
There were no promises,
nor vows
nothing at all

Friend,
You, the same as yesterday
the unconditional one
who asked nothing of me
You, the same as yesterday
the one I didn’t know how to love
…I don’t know why…"

“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

Let our scars fall in love.”

There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. An if you go to hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry........

Admonitions To A Special Person



Watch out for power,
for its avalanche can bury you,
snow, snow, snow, smothering your mountain.

Watch out for hate,
it can open its mouth and you'll fling yourself out
to eat off your leg, an instant leper.

Watch out for friends,
because when you betray them,
as you will,
they will bury their heads in the toilet
and flush themselves away.

Watch out for intellect,
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down,
mouthing knowledge as your heart
falls out of your mouth.

Watch out for games, the actor's part,
the speech planned, known, given,
for they will give you away
and you will stand like a naked little boy,
pissing on your own child-bed.

Watch out for love
(unless it is true,
and every part of you says yes including the toes) ,
it will wrap you up like a mummy,
and your scream won't be heard
and none of your running will end.

Love? Be it man. Be it woman.
It must be a wave you want to glide in on,
give your body to it, give your laugh to it,
give, when the gravelly sand takes you,
your tears to the land. To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall
into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.

Special person,
if I were you I'd pay no attention
to admonitions from me,
made somewhat out of your words
and somewhat out of mine.
A collaboration.
I do not believe a word I have said,
except some, except I think of you like a young tree
with pasted-on leaves and know you'll root
and the real green thing will come.

Let go. Let go.
Oh special person,
possible leaves,
this typewriter likes you on the way to them,
but wants to break crystal glasses
in celebration,
for you,
when the dark crust is thrown off
and you float all around
like a happened balloon.

Want and Love

Almost all of us know how to want someone
but few of us know how to love,
because loving and wanting are not the same thing,
loving means hurting, wanting means enjoying.

The one who loves wants to go on, the one
who loves gives his life,
the one who desires wants to live and
never suffer, and never suffer
the one who loves can't think, he gives it all
he gives it all, the one who desires wants
to forget and never cry, and never cry,
the desire can soon finish, love
doesn't have an end, because we all know
how to desire someone, but few know how to love.

Love is the sky and the light, love
is fullness, is the sea that
has no end, is glory and peace,
is glory and peace, wanting is
flesh and skin, is searching for the dark
corner, is biting, scratching and kissing
it's a brief desire, it's a brief desire.

The one who loves can't think, he gives it all
he gives it all, the one who desires wants
to forget and never cry, and never cry
the desire can soon finish, love
doesn't have an end, because we all know
how to desire someone, but few know how to love....

There can be no change without chaos. All real, lasting change comes as a result of trembling at the foundational level of what exists.
~~Iyanla Vanzant

You are always free to choose. If for any reason your choices do not result in peace, harmony, and balance, you are always free to choose again. You are always free to choose again and again and again.
~~Iyanla Vanzant

To honor life, we must be willing to grow through what we don't know yet, and outgrow what we know no longer fits us. We must be willing to give in to the process, moment by moment, realizing a new plot may be unfolding.
~~Iyanla Vanzant

[Genesis]

“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.” ~ Anthon St. Maarten,

[MegBluEyz]

"I dare you to dream
Dream of what you can do,
And what you will do.
Dream of who you are,
And who you'll become.
Never believe that dreams are for fools,
The fools are those who don't dream...." Sarah C. Ward.

Until we learn to love others as ourselves, it's difficult to blame broken people who desperately try to affirm themselves when no one else will.”

Puppy Love Poem

You can't buy loyalty, they say,
I bought it though, the other day.
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
But just the same, I bought that too.

I made my bid, and on the spot,
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all,
The purchase price was pretty small.

I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a blue-eyed puppy with a wagging tail.

"Forgiveness is the only way to break the cycle of blame--and pain--in a relationship...It does not settle all questions of blame and justice and fairness...But it does allow relationships to start over. In that way, said Solzhenitsyn, we differ from all animals. It is not our capacity to think that makes us different, but our capacity to repent, and to forgive."

Philip Yancey - The Unnatural Act

[puddin']

true love goes well and truly beyond physical or romantic. true love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be...

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.

Rudyard Kipling

[Genesis]

Love is the dancing cry of the soul, calling the body to worship
Like a shining whirlpool, or a spinning mayfly
So is love among the skies.
I leap across the mountaintops, madly singing the song of all songs
I float through the ether, intoxicated, thrilled
I think only of your love, your calling to me
And I dance the thousand dances of love, all returning to you.

It is not the play of children, nor the detached unity of wise sages
Unreal! Unnecessary!
Where is the beauty?

When I, like a glowing comet, may flash around your sun
Laughing, singing, with the joy of loving you!

Wine makes drunk the mind and body
But it is love which thrills the soul
When I approach you, I feel the mad pounding of love
The singing wonder
The joy which opens blossoms on the trees of the world.

Come to me, and I shall dance with you
In the temples, on the beaches, through the crowded streets
Be you man or woman, plant or animal, slave or free
I shall show you the brilliant crystal fires, shining within
I shall show you the beauty deep within your soul
I shall show the path beyond Heaven.

Only dance, and your illusions will blow in the wind
Dance, and make joyous the love around you
Dance, and your veils which hide the Light
Shall swirl in a heap at your feet.

Rumi

[Genesis]

Black Messengers. (Translation of Los heraldos negros)

"There are in life such hard blows . . . I don't know!
Blows seemingly from God's wrath; as if before them
the undertow of all our sufferings
is embedded in our souls . . . I don't know!

There are few; but are . . . opening dark furrows
in the fiercest of faces and the strongest of loins,
They are perhaps the colts of barbaric Attilas
or the dark heralds Death sends us.


They are the deep falls of the Christ of the soul,
of some adorable one that Destiny Blasphemes.
Those bloody blows are the crepitation
of some bread getting burned on us by the oven's door


And the man . . . poor . . . poor!
He turns his eyes around, like
when patting calls us upon our shoulder;
he turns his crazed maddened eyes,
and all of life's experiences become stagnant, like a puddle of guilt, in a daze.


There are such hard blows in life. I don't know..."

~Cesar Vallejo

"Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold."

"He said, "How do you benefit from this life?"
I said, "By keeping true to myself."
-Rumi

[Genesis]

“In this pilgrimage in search of modernity I lost my way at many points only to find myself again. I returned to the source and discovered that modernity is not outside but within us. It is today and the most ancient antiquity; it is tomorrow and the beginning of the world; it is a thousand years old and yet newborn. It speaks in Nahuatl, draws Chinese ideograms from the 9th century, and appears on the television screen. This intact present, recently unearthed, shakes off the dust of centuries, smiles and suddenly starts to fly, disappearing through the window. A simultaneous plurality of time and presence: modernity breaks with the immediate past only to recover an age-old past and transform a tiny fertility figure from the neolithic into our contemporary. We pursue modernity in her incessant metamorphoses yet we never manage to trap her. She always escapes: each encounter ends in flight. We embrace her and she disappears immediately: it was just a little air. It is the instant, that bird that is everywhere and nowhere. We want to trap it alive but it flaps its wings and vanishes in the form of a handful of syllables. We are left empty-handed. Then the doors of perception open slightly and the other time appears, the real one we were searching for without knowing it: the present, the presence.”
~ Octavio Paz

[Genesis]

“Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition.
Man is the only being who knows he is alone, and the only one who seeks out another.
His nature - if that word can be used in reference to man, who has ‘invented’ himself by saying ‘no’ to nature - consists in his longing to realize himself in another.
Man is nostalgia and a search for communion.
Therefore, when he is aware of himself he is aware of his lack of another, that is, of his solitude.”
― Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings

[Genesis]

”I’m afraid sometimes you’ll play lonely games too, games you can’t win because you’ll play against you” ~ Dr. Seuss

[Hollylane]

“The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It’s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.”

― Leo Buscaglia

[Hollylane]

“It's not enough to have lived.
We should be determined to live for something.
May I suggest that it be creating joy for others,
sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind,
bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.”

― Leo Buscaglia
