Now comes the evening of the mind. Here are the fireflies twitching in the blood.
~Donald Justice |
There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum |
Your Journey Has Molded
You For Your Greater Good, AND It was Exactly What It Needed to Be. DON'T THINK THAT YOU'VE LOST TIME IT TOOK EACH AND EVERY SITUATION You Have Encountered To Bring You to the Now. And NOW IS RIGHT ON TIME. - Asha Tyson 1970- |
"I did'nt see many people who had died with a naturally peaceful smile already frozen on their face...only a few. I guess the facial expressions isn't all that important-but more or less the manner in which how the person lived and died that screamed volumns." -a retired Mortician

Just booked a table for Valentine's Day for me and the wife. Bound to end in tears though - she's crap at snooker.

It need not discourage us if we are full of doubts. Healthy questions
keep faith dynamic. In fact, unless we start with doubts we cannot have a deep-rooted faith. One who believes lightly and unthinkingly has not much of a belief. One who has a faith which is not to be shaken has won it through blood and tears--has worked his or her way from doubt to truth as one who reaches a clearing through a thicket of brambles and thorns. Helen Keller |
Every decision that you make either moves you toward your personality, or
toward your soul. Each decision you make is an answer to the question, "How do you choose to learn love?", "How do you choose to learn authentic empowerment--through doubt and fear, or through wisdom?" Gary Zukav |
My gut tells me it is time to repeat this one......
"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute." ~Rebecca West, "Mr Chesterton in Hysterics: A Study in Prejudice," The Clarion, 14 Nov 1913 |
When you possess light within, you see it externally.
Anais Nin |
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. ~Eleanor Roosevelt |
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."

All Audrey Hepburn tonight!
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”
“People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” “There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.” |
..Rilke
"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky."
~ Rilke |
There may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that
I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me, because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am. Chuang-tse |
Never cry because you have mountains of problem in your hands
to solve. Always smile because each problems will someday resolve. Santosh Kalwar |
A pedestal is as much a prison as any small confined space.
--Gloria Steinem |
My Favorite Poem Ever
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 |

"The secret of health for both body and mind is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment both wisely and earnestly."
~Buddha |
In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality. ~Kristian Kan |
