I want a red dress. I want it flimsy and cheap, I want it too tight, I want to wear it until someone tears it off me. I want it sleeveless and backless, this dress, so no one has to guess what's underneath. I want to walk down the street past Thrifty's and the hardware store with all those keys glittering in the window, past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly, hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders. I want to walk like I'm the only woman on earth and I can have my pick. I want that red dress bad. I want it to confirm your worst fears about me, to show you how little I care about you or anything except what I want. When I find it, I'll pull that garment from its hanger like I'm choosing a body to carry me into this world, through the birth-cries and the love-cries too, and I'll wear it like bones, like skin, it'll be the goddamned dress they bury me in. -Kim Addonizio |
Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication. ~ Algernon Black

You just get the vibes of your surroundings and it rubs off on you. ~~Gordon Lightfoot
I`m a little nuts. I`m a lot nuts. All I know is that in the midst of the madness of this world it`s my therapy. The music touches my heartstrings. ~~ Gordon Lightfoot Turning back the pages of my sweet shattered dream, I wonder if she'll ever do the same; And the thing that I call living is just being satisfied With knowing I've got no one left to blame. ~~ Gordon Lightfoot |

- Thomas Merton |

Beauty is an experience, nothing else. It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement of features. It is something felt, a glow or a communicated sense of fineness. What ails us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised and blunted, we miss all the best. Khalil Gibran, (1883 - 1931) Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. |

“We are inclined to think that if we watch a football game or a baseball game, we have taken part in it”
~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy |
"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right." ~ Martin Luther King

How can a woman be expected to be happy with someone who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
~Oscar Wilde |
In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for yourself. For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option. It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge. Don't let these people live rent free in your head. If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? It's not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of looking out for yourself. It's one thing you can be totally selfish about. ~~Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world will be blind and toothless. ~~ Mahatma Gandhi When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.~~Catherine Ponder |
Just heard this from Robert Downey, Jr. on the Golden Globes
Art in the blood takes on the strangest forms.

I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself.
