You know procrastination is the same thing as masturbation. Sure, it feels great in the beginning, but in the end, you're really just fucking yourself.- (I thought this was hilarous) Some people say that nobody's perfect. Well I think that everybody's perfect, just in different ways. - Guess who. :) |
What you acquire, hoard, and flash on the outside may make you valuable in the minds of some, but it’s only what you own on the inside and give away freely that will make you valuable in the hearts of all. ~ Sandra Kring The greatness of a man is not how much wealth he acquires but in his integrity and ability to effect those around him positively~Bob Marley |
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had. ~Author Unknown |
The Wolves Within
A Cherokee Legend
An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside us all," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "But Grandfather, which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." |
Letting go doesn't always mean you're not in love anymore. Sometimes letting go just means you've realized that you won't ever stop the bleeding if you keep handing someone else a knife.

“Wizards First Rule
"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." Zedd to Richard & Kahlan ~ "Wizard's First Rule" ― Terry Goodkind |
Don't only practice your Art, but force you way into it's Secrets, for it and Knowledge can raise men To the Divine... ~Ludwig von Beethoven |
Thanatopsis - William Cullen Bryant
TO HIM who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides 5 Into his darker musings, with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images 10 Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;— Go forth under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around— 15 Earth and her waters, and the depths of air— Comes a still voice—Yet a few days, and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground, Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears, 20 Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again, And, lost each human trace, surrendering up Thine individual being, shalt thou go 25 To mix forever with the elements; To be a brother to the insensible rock, And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. 30 Yet not to thine eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down With patriarchs of the infant world,—with kings, The powerful of the earth,—the wise, the good, 35 Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the vales Stretching in pensive quietness between; The venerable woods—rivers that move 40 In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,— Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man! The golden sun, 45 The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on the sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom.—Take the wings 50 Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness, Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, Save his own dashings,—yet the dead are there: And millions in those solitudes, since first 55 The flight of years began, have laid them down In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone. So shalt thou rest; and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure? All that breathe 60 Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before will chase His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come 65 And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glide away, the sons of men, The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron and maid, The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man— 70 Shall one by one be gathered to thy side By those, who in their turn shall follow them. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take 75 His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch 80 About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. |

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. ~Jack Kerouac |
I'm in mourning for my life. I'm unhappy.

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins. ~Bob Moawad |
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

Many things will catch your eye, but few with catch your heart. Pursue these. - Unknown
Why do we often say ‘truth hurts’, ‘the hard truth’, ‘you can’t handle the truth’, etc? Truth in and of itself need not be hard to bear or painful. It is only after becoming accustomed to living in lies that it becomes such. In my humble experience I’ve found the more one accepts the truth it generally becomes enjoyable, soothing, even blissful. -Elliot Arnold Never underestamate the power of stupid people in large groups.-Jessica Parcells |
"Women are not weaker. They are just as strong, just as resolute, just as creative, and filled with just as much potential as any man. As your father, my instinct is to protect you. Other people will want to protect you as well. But, remember that you are not a damsel in distress, waiting for some prince to rescue you. With your brain and your resourcefulness, you can rescue yourself." Brad Meltzer from the introduction of Hereos For My Daughter |

It’s in the morning sun
The skies of blue It’s in the rain too It’s in the clouds that cover you It’s in the grass beneath your feet It’s the treetops out of reach It’s the birds that paint the sky It’s the flowers you walk right on by It in the oceans, the lakes, the rivers too It’s in the desert sands, mountain peaks and even you It’s in the fish, the wildlife, the domestic animal crews It’s in everything you touch, everything you do It in the setting of the sun, the rising of the moon Making way once again for all things new It’s Name: Love Gaea 053012 |
