The Door - Miroslav Holub
The Door Go and open the door. Perhaps outside there's a tree, or a wood, or a garden, or a magic town. Go and open the door. Perhaps outside there's a dog scratching. Perhaps there's a face outside, or an eye or the picture of a picture. Go and open the door. If there's fog outside it will go. Go and open the door. There could be outside only singing darkness, and there could be outside only wind's hollow breath and there could be absolutely nothing outside, go and open the door. At least there would be a draught. Miroslav Holub |
The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours And yours Leo Marks |
From Placenta Praevia - Alta
& all those years nobody loved me except her & i screamed at her & spanked her & threw her on the bed & slammed the door when i was angry & desperate for her father's love, & I can't undo all those times i frightened her & she loves me, she still loves me, i can't undo needing & being tortured by loneliness until i cried out at her, who loved me even in my needy loneliness. & how do mothers, unloved, love their children? the wonder is that we do, we do not leave the little girl, we do not destroy we cry out in terror we love our little girls who must have a better life ... Alta For Mum, I love you xxx |

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” - Charles R. Swindoll |

I love this lil book of affirmations...
"I can have intimate relationships in my life today. In the past I felt abandoned by those nearest to me and as a result, it is difficult for me to trust. I am strong enough now to weather the feelings that come up for me as I move close to another human being because I can feel my own feelings and give voice to them. I can simply see them without creating a problem by blaming them on someone else. They are my feelings and I am willing to own them. I can be close to someone."
