“We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate. And that isn't true.” ― Amy Tan

There is a voice that you can hear when you're still
It tells you everything you need to know It's a seed, it's a whisper, it lights a darkened room It says.. More than the rivers More than the sea More than the mountains And all of the valleys This is your home It breathes life into your lungs A single breath connecting like a silver thread Love to sorrow...Joy to dread More than the rivers More than the sea More than the mountains And all of the valleys This is your home This is your home... free. ~J. Kilcher |
The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself. ~Michel de Montaigne, Of Solitude |
Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it. ~Whitney Griswold |
"Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
Love is a smoke made
with the fume of sighs, being purged, A fire~ sparkling in lover's eyes ~**~ being vexed, a sea nourished with lover's tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall... and a preserving sweet. (w) ~Shakespeare |
Nothing to Save
by D. H. Lawrence There is nothing to save, now all is lost, but a tiny core of stillness in the heart like the eye of a violet. |
“But she loves me. Me. Just the way I am.” ― P.C. Cast
“God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless.” ― Chester Nimitz “Beware how you take away hope from another human being” ― Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. |
The Morning Walk by Mary Oliver
There are a lot of words meaning thanks.
Some you can only whisper. Others you can only sing. The pewee whistles instead. The snake turns in circles, the beaver slaps his tail on the surface of the pond. The deer in the pinewood stamps his hoof. Goldfinches shine as they float through the air. A person, sometimes, will hum a little Mahler. Or put arms around old oak tree. Or take out lovely pencil and notebook to find a few touching, kissing words. |
The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me and therefore trustworthy.is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone in the empty moments.with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep |
.....there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it is sent away....

Each day, awakening, are we asked to paint the sky blue? Need we coax the sun to rise or flowers to bloom? Need we teach birds to sing, or children to laugh, or lovers to kiss? No, though we think the world imperfect, it surrounds us each day with its perfections. We are asked only to appreciate them, and to show appreciation by living in peaceful harmony amidst them. The Creator does not ask that we create a perfect world; He asks that we celebrate it. ~Robert Brault |
I was in a little mountain village and found this ...
* I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you'll eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and some times good things fall apart so better things can fall together. |
We have only this moment,
sparkling like a star in our hand....* and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late. ~Marie Beynon Ray |
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.....

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something. --Thomas Huxley

O' Sweet Spontaneous...e.e. cummings
Katniss~~(still January but ready for Spring) |
For the most part..real love, whether between friends, lovers, family members, or spouses..wants to keep on loving. It can't help itself.
When we're in a state of pure love...one that exists on a higher plane than our own petty human emotions...we are in a *Divine* state. ~K. Cutrone |

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
~ Thomas Merton |
We attract into our lives that which we focus upon with the strongest intent. Unfortunately, most of us do not monitor our thoughts, and therefore have no idea of what we are thinking.
~~Iyanla Vanzant It is very easy to get so wrapped up in doing what you feel needs to be done that you forget to be grateful for the ability to do. To walk. To breathe. To think. These are gifts. To see. To hear. To feel. These are invaluable gifts. ~~Iyanla Vanzant |
Of all the love poems you wrote for me
my favorite is the imprint of your foot upon my ass -Jonathan Penton, Last Chap |
“Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”
― James Baldwin “Time has no meaning, Love will endure..” ― Jude Deveraux “This is what I know. Don't settle for 40, 50, or even 80 percent. A relationship-it shouldn't be too small or too tight or even a little scratchy. It shouldn't take up space in your closet out of guilty conscience or convenience or a moment of bad judgement. Do you hear me? It should be perfect for you. It should be lasting. Wait. Wait for 100 percent.” ― Deb Caletti |
Love Compared
I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady should another give you a cloud I give you rain Should he give you a lantern, I will give you the moon Should he give you a branch I will give you the trees And if another gives you a ship I shall give you the journey. Nizar Qabbani Katniss~~ |
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.--Bertolt Brecht

Quotes
Here are some funny quotes. 1) Your legs must be tired because you have been running through my mind all night. 2) If you cant see the bright side of life polish the dull side. 3) A good speech should be like a womans skirt: long enough to cover the subject but short enough to create interest.

"It's very difficult to live an ethically intelligent life," Weinstein said. "Keeping your word, keeping things private, telling the truth, avoiding hurting people, being fair and compassionate, all this takes work."
--Bruce Weinstein |
If you bring forth what is inside of you,
what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, What you don't bring forth will destroy you. ~Jesus Christ |
"To wander in the fields of flowers, pull the thorns from your Heart."

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of
God's greatest gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one's self and appreciating what is noble and loving in another. - Thomas Hughes Where there are friends, there is wealth. - Titus Maccius Plautus Few delights can equal the mere presence of someone we utterly trust. - George MacDonald |

I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.”― Sophie Kinsella
“If you don't receive love from the ones who are meant to love you, you will never stop looking for it.” ― Robert Goolrick “You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you; you hate it because you are afraid of it; you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. ” ― Yevgeny Zamyatin, |
