Deep pleasure, joy, and knowing secure my mind and delight my heart as daily revelations tell me who I really am. I am willing to let go of my little treasures for the spiritual gold that lies within. I release what I do know for what I will know.

Dayum!

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.

Do not look back in anger,

Quote:
|
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
--Robert A. Heinlein |
I had a past life regression. In another life I was known as the cheshire... hey..if you believe you use to be Joan of Arc, why cant I be the cheshire? Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on limping kitty |
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
~Nelson Mandela |
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
~Victor Hugo |
And love says I will, I will take care of you...to everything that is near.

Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no regrets.

“It's weird...you know the end of something great is coming, but you want to hold on, just for one more second...just so it can hurt a little more.” - Unknown |
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman |
"Always do what you are afraid to do.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
"We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.” - Uknown |
The Art of Drowning
I wonder how it all got started, this business about seeing your life flash before your eyes while you drown, as if panic, or the act of submergence, could startle time into such compression, crushing decades in the vice of your desperate, final seconds. After falling off a steamship or being swept away in a rush of floodwaters, wouldn't you hope for a more leisurely review, an invisible hand turning the pages of an album of photographs- you up on a pony or blowing out candles in a conic hat. How about a short animated film, a slide presentation? Your life expressed in an essay, or in one model photograph? Wouldn't any form be better than this sudden flash? Your whole existence going off in your face in an eyebrow-singeing explosion of biography- nothing like the three large volumes you envisioned. Survivors would have us believe in a brilliance here, some bolt of truth forking across the water, an ultimate Light before all the lights go out, dawning on you with all its megalithic tonnage. But if something does flash before your eyes as you go under, it will probably be a fish, a quick blur of curved silver darting away, having nothing to do with your life or your death. The tide will take you, or the lake will accept it all as you sink toward the weedy disarray of the bottom, leaving behind what you have already forgotten, the surface, now overrun with the high travel of clouds. Billy Collins |
The art of living does not consist in preserving and clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing happiness to change its form without being disappointed by the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow up. ~ Charles L. Morgan

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
~William Jennings Bryan |
"If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down." - Mary Pickford

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves-
Keep close to Nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean- John Muir = <3 |

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away." |
"Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person." - Tennessee Williams |
"I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!" ~John Muir |
"If you believe in yourself, if you are without fear, you will also be tolerant, non-aggressive and find love." - Rollo Armstrong |
Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition.
(f) Arthur Rubinstein American, Musician Quotes |
Just think of the trees: they let the birds perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when they fly away. If people's hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way...
Zen proverb |
Francisco Reynaldo
“The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.” |
Gore
There is not one human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.
- Gore Vidal |
“Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.” ~anonymous~!

"If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." ~ anonymous
