The Dash by Linda Ellis
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone, from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved her know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash… would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent YOUR dash? -Linda Ellis |

“The greatest legacy you can leave is choosing how well you live. My recipe for how you can live each day in ways you are proud to remember: Love as you want to be loved; Speak to others as you want to be spoken to; Listen to others with the attention and quiet mind with which you want to be heard; Support other people as you want to be supported; Forgive as you want to be forgiven; and Give much more to other people and our world than you take.” -Regina

One of my favorites
I have always been curious
about the erotic rabbit. Who excited them and whispers in their genital ears? They procreate endlessly and pay no attention to Saint Francis, they hear no nonsense: the rabbit mounts and remounts with an inexhaustible organism. I wish to speak with the rabbit, I like his flighty habits. Pablo Neruda |

"When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet. You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time. Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart. Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they’re ready." -Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron |

"In my nothing, you were everything, to me."
Trent Reznor "I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death." Courtney Love "If I don't terrorize, I'm not Pop." Iggy Pop :4femme: |
"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be." -Albert Camus |

I can be without anyone
but not without You. You twist my heart, dwell in my mind and fill my eyes. You are my joy, I can’t be without You. ~ Rumi |
