The Travail Of Passion
by William Butler Yeats When the flaming lute-thronged angelic door is wide; When an immortal passion breathes in mortal clay; Our hearts endure the scourge, the plaited thorns, the way Crowded with bitter faces, the wounds in palm and side, The vinegar-heavy sponge, the flowers by Kedron stream; We will bend down and loosen our hair over you, That it may drop faint perfume, and be heavy with dew, Lilies of death-pale hope, roses of passionate dream. |
So very true...
"Real empathy comes from feeling your partner's pain in a real way, and then doing something about it." John Gottman

"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do -- by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include."

Sincerity "The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1955
Being sincere is being true to yourself. It is hard work being anything less. It takes a lot more mind games and that can be exhausting. What a terrible waste of energy! Being sincere is being genuine, authentic - and that is the more comfortable way to go. -Lissa Coffey |
“I believe all joy is an extension of gratitude. If we can find something to be thankful for, no matter what’s going on, no matter how small, we can grasp the coattails of joy.” —Xian Horn

'Twas Thanksgiving Night and all through the house Diva brought in decorations (Cuz she had no spouse!). The creatures were hiding all under the bed lest Mommy drop Santas right onto their heads! And I in my garage and finding it all, settled in for an evening of decking the Halls! ;-) When what to my wandering eyes did appear? A big red full box I thought I'd lost last year! With goodies and glitter and all things that shone, I brought them all into my sweet~scented home! Now Angels! Now Spangles! Now garlands and feathers! On stars and on snowflakes, let's make it much better! With box wine in hand, I stood up and admired a cute little Ricky climbing higher and higher! He was chubby and plump, a right sneaky fat cat And I laughed as I reached for the water ~ "You! SCAT!" I gathered the totes, lighter now than before, And squealed, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" as I slammed the back door! ~Diva |

“The best beer is where priests go to drink. For a quart of Ale is a dish for a King.”
William Shakespeare, A Winter’s Tale |
“Perhaps it's true that things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of whole lifetimes. And that when they do, those few dozen hours, like the salvaged remains of a burned house---the charred clock, the singed photograph, the scorched furniture---must be resurrected from the ruins and examined. Preserved. Accounted for. Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstitutred. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things |

Dreams
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go, Life is a barren field frozen with snow. ~Langston Hughes |

Love it! Been a hard and long lesson for me but I think I FINALLY have a grasp on this. |

Really feeling this right now
Changing your life does not always mean that you stop doing certain things. It may mean that you start doing certain other things. Rather than beating yourself up for what you are not doing, appreciate and celebrate the things that you are doing. Focus on what you do, can do, choose to do, are ready to do.
~~Iyanla Vanzant |
Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on.

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 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) ee cummings |
The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time. -Haruki Murakami
