Minutes are worth more than money.

than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever. David Norris |
By certain theatrical effects, great magicians can show their audience the form of anyone floating in the air and talking, and suddenly spirit it away. Is it not possible, then, that the great Cosmic Magician might be showing us true-to-sight, true-to-touch super pictures of everyone and everything in creation? Likewise, the metaphysical master can see everything in creation as a delusive dream within God's cosmic motion picture dream, who knows the truth that things are not always what they seem to the senses.- Paramahansa Yogananda

Alphonse Karr French, Critic Quotes |
Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect. For jealous people, like dope-fiends, stoop to the lowest level and in the end inspire only disgust and loathing.
Emma Goldman 1869-1940, American Anarchist |
True happiness comes from doing what's right not just doing what makes you feel good.(f)

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
~Jim Morrison(f) |
I like you calm, as if you were absent,
and you hear me far-off, and my voice does not touch you. It seems that your eyelids have taken to flying: it seems that a kiss has sealed up your mouth. Since all these things are filled with my spirit, you come from things, filled with my spirit. You appear as my soul, as the butterfly’s dreaming, and you appear as Sadness’s word. I like you calm, as if you were distant, you are a moaning, a butterfly’s cooing. You hear me far-off, my voice does not reach you. Let me be calmed, then, calmed by your silence. Let me commune, then, commune with your silence, clear as a light, and pure as a ring. You are like night, calmed, constellated. Your silence is star-like, as distant, as true. I like you calm, as if you were absent: distant and saddened, as if you were dead. One word at that moment, a smile, is sufficient. And I thrill, then, I thrill: that it cannot be so. ~ Neruda |
Inside of me there is a place...
where my sweetest dreams reside; where my highest hopes are kept alive; where my deepest feelings are felt; and where my favorite memories are tucked away, safe and warm. And every time i get in touch with the hopes, feelings and memories in my heart, I realize how deeply my life has been touched by you. (f) |
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter.""

the thing itself and not the myth
I came to explore the wreck.
The words are purposes. The words are maps. I came to see the damage that was done and the treasures that prevail. I stroke the beam of my lamp slowly along the flank of something more permanent than fish or weed the thing I came for: the wreck and not the story of the wreck the thing itself and not the myth the drowned face always staring toward the sun the evidence of damage worn by salt and away into this threadbare beauty the ribs of the disaster curving their assertion among the tentative haunters. - from Diving the Wreck, by Adrienne Rich |
A jumping off point ...
Where The Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And watch where the chalk-white arrows go To the place where the sidewalk ends. Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go, For the children, they mark, and the children, they know The place where the sidewalk ends. ~ Shel Silverstein |
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.
Alan Alda American, Actor Quotes |
I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business.
Kevin Spacey American, Actor Quotes |
"No longer is my past an autobiography; it is a reference book to be taken down, open and shared. Today as I report for duty, the most wonderful picture comes through. For - though this day be dark - as some days must be - the stars will shine even brighter later. My witness that they do shine will be called for in the very near future. All my past will this day be a part of me, because it is the key, not the lock." - Author Unknown |

Especially if the people who are doing the talking also happen to be children." — Greg Mortenson (Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan) |

Slowly drowning in my sorrow Wishing things would be better tomorrow Feeling like I am in an ocean of doubt and despair, gradually sinking and gasping for air. Knowing life is not a light switch you can flip on and off Simply settling and accepting I have to carry on. Trying to keep my sanity and composure intact out of fear of how those close to me, might react. Fears of inadequacy as a human, as a woman, burry themselves deep in my head As I make a foolish attempt to have a good night's rest in my lumpy bed. Due to the fact that there are others out there ten times better than I, makes me afraid and let out defeated sighs. Since it seems like things will always be this way, its frustrating because I have to go through it day after day. Yet, when my quandaries are more than I can bare, I can at least take comfort in those who really care. You know who you are, and so do I. That knowledge keeps me from going over the edge, from giving up and giving in. ::sigh:: By Lourdes Medel ========================================== Signs and symptoms of depression Depression varies from person to person, but there are some common signs and symptoms. It’s important to remember that these symptoms can be part of life’s normal lows.
