"Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” ― Fulton J. Sheen “A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen |
After a while by Veronica Shoffstall
After A While
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security, And you learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your hand open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is uncertain for plans After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, That you really are strong, And you really do have worth. by Veronica Shoffstall :moonstars: |
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Franz Kafka |
"Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain." ~Leo Buscaglia~ |

"Are not all lifelong friendships born at the moment when at you meet another human being who has some inkling. . .of that something which you were born desiring, and which beneath the flux of other desires and in all the momentary silences between the louder passions, night and day, year by year, from childhood to old age, you are looking for, watching for, listening for?" - C.S. Lewis

"A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart."
~Unknown "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~Antoine De-Saint Exupery "Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry." ~Tom Mullen |
Certainly not me....

"You wake up in the morning and your purse is magically filled with twenty-four hours of un-manufactured tissue of the universe of your life. It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. No one can take it from you. And no one receives either more or less than you receive." - Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett
"You can live your life in two ways: As if everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle." - Albert Einstein. "As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau |
“In this life we are all just walking up the mountain and we can sing as we climb or we can complain about our sore feet. Whichever we choose, we still gotta do the hike. I decided a long time ago singing made a lot more sense.”

"Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?."
~Oscar Hammerstein "Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly." ~Richard Bach "Know your limits, but never accept them." ~Unknown |
“To me, “FEARLESS” is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright…That’sFEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.”
~Taylor Swift |

Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda
"I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ” ― Pablo Neruda :moonstars: |

It is a Thoreau kind of day.
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." - Henry David Thoreau "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." - Henry David Thoreau "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." - Henry David Thoreau |
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people? Philip Howard

“We ate well and drank well and slept well and warm together. And loved each other.”
― Ernest Hemingway “And back then I could laugh, even though the future was a dangerous place, because I loved her, and I thought she loved me, and the world was beautiful.” ― Maggie Stiefvater “I'd sleep outside naked in the blizzard,for you.” ― Ellen Hopkins |

You are stronger than any sadness you'll ever feel and you are braver than any fear you'll ever face and you matter more than you could ever believe.

I Carry Your Heart with Me by E.E.Cummings
"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in 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 the 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)" ~ E.E. Cummings :moonstars: |
"There us a candle in your heart ready to be kindled,
There is a void in your soul ready to be filled, You feel it, don't you? You feel the separation from the Beloved Invite Him in to fill you up, embrace the fire Remind those who tell you otherwise that Love comes to you of its own accord and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school." - Rumi |

“Don't cry over someone who wouldn't cry over you.”
~Lauren Conrad “My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.” ~Maya Angelou |
