"Experience is in the fingers and the head. The heart is inexperienced." --Henry David Thoreau |
"Love cannot accept what it is. Everywhere on earth it cries out against kindness, compassion, intelligence, everything that leads to compromise.

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." W.B. Yeats |

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”
~Friedrich Nietzsche |
I Crave Your Mouth, Your Voice, Your Hair
I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps. I hunger for your sleek laugh, your hands the color of a savage harvest, hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I want to eat your skin like a whole almond. I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body, the sovereign nose of your arrogant face, I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes, and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight, hunting for you, for your hot heart, like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue. Translated by Stephen Tapscott ~Pablo Neruda |

"Sure. It's easy to love someone who's lovable. But, it's hard to love someone who is difficult. The real challenge is to try and love a difficult person." |
Thank you, to those who have served.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

What is a friend? A single soul shared by two people. - Aristotle
