Dr. King on Love, Hope, and Peace in honor of the holiday....
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend." "At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love." "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." |
"A leader isn't a seeker of consensus, but a molder of consensus."

“All I'm saying is, where relationships are concerned, don't confuse length with strength.” ― Matt Dunn “It's hard to close the door on optimistic expectations when you care about someone.” ― Dennis Lehane |
words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.

To Sleep....
"O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee,
That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?” - William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 2 "The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.” - Poppy Z. Brite "From the tattered edges of an exhausted mind, inspiration blooms... mental filters disintegrate and walls crumble, as the ocean of creativity washes over everything.” - Jaeda DeWalt "Lord, grant us rest tonight, and if we must be wakeful, cheerful.” - Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons "Sleep is the best meditation." - Dalai Lama |
"We enter relationships looking for love, expecting someone to love us or accept us lovingly. This makes perfectly good sense if you consider that we are each born to express and receive love. In some unfortunate situations, we can want love or acceptance so badly that we will do almost anything to get it. We break love's rules.
What we fail to understand is that we are the love we seek." |

“I will gladly spend the rest of my days learning your secrets.
You are worth fighting for. The thought of you makes my days brighter and my nights filled with dreams. Happiness comes easier when I'm thinking of you.” ― Truth Devour, Unrequited “Never deviate from your path unless you are going to make love in the bushes .....” - Unknown “Love is only made more valuable by the risk of heartbreak.” ― Alessandra Torre |
“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.” — bell hooks |

lol, I am memorizing it so next time it happens to me I know what the heck to call it. silkepus, if I had a nickel for every time I've experienced this in my life and been forced to simply suffer in silence because I didn't have vocabulary to express what the heck was happening, I wouldn't need to work anymore! mamihlapinatapai. Okay, if I can manage to work this into conversation 6 more times today, it will officially be a part of my vocabulary. :giggle: |
Quote:
May I suggest the Kobi grad school short cut to memorizing things? Mamihlapinatpai = mapai. Ok I make up my own words. |
Quote:
Mamih = mommy lap = lap, of course. That could go with mommy. Cranky children? pinata = piñata pai = pie. You might have a piece of pie at a birthday party where there may also be a piñata, mommies, cranky children, and laps? lol, okay, I have issues; but it works. You will remember this word now. All thanks to me. :) You're welcome. |
Quote:
I will remember MLPP - mommys lap is a piñata pie.I used acronyms too. We had to memorize a lot of stuff LOL. |
"It is our concern over what others say, do and think about us that imprisons our mind, body and spirit. What other people think about me is not my concern."

I promise it won't make me or break me. |

Me by Will "Story' Rivera
My uniqueness is my gift, you cannot contain me, I will stand out and be true to myself no matter the risk, you cannot rob me of my spirit, my dreams or my beliefs, I am a temple of old school values, honor, truthfulness, love, respect, the kind of qualities I will take with me even in death, my inner strength and conviction allow me to open doors that no normal person sees, it allows me to challenge myself, to soar higher than I ever dreamed, I was created to be different, I love that I don’t fit in, I love that I don’t have one category to define me, I am an eclectic mixture of this entire universe, no matter the scenery I can adapt with out compromising the truth of my inner spirit, I keep my words sincere, my love open, the drive I have for service to others is none like any you have been exposed to, I awaken, I am raw words unspoken, the mirror we fear to gaze upon, aiding in the journey for us all to see our true selves; there is no other like me in this world, and I am more than ok with that. ~Will "Story" Rivera |
