"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos." ~Charles M. Schultz |

"Having a lover/friend who regards you as a living growing criatura, being, just as much as the tree from the ground, or a ficus in the house, or a rose garden out in the side yard... having a lover and friends who look at you as a true living breathing entity, one that is human but made of very fine and moist and magical things as well... a lover and friends who support the ciatura in you... these are the people you are looking for. They will be the friends of your soul for life. Mindful choosing of friends and lovers, not to mention teachers, is critical to remaining conscious, remaining intuitive, remaining in charge of the fiery light that sees and knows." — Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women Who Run with the Wolves) |
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly. ~ Buddha ~ |

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

a lil' poetry from a friend's facebook page....
Like roses in a garden, kindness fills the air
with a certain bit of sweetness as it touches everywhere. For kindness is a circle that never, never ends but just keeps ever-widening in the circle of our friends. For the more you give, the more you get is proven every day, And so to get the most from life, you must give yourself away... |

one of my all time favorites by pablo neruda...yes it is in spanish. i can't seem to find the english translation online..but it is on page 55 of his book the yellow heart.
Recuerdos de la amistad, Pablo Neruda Era una tal obstinación la de mi amigo Rupertino que empeñó su desinterés en siempre inútiles empresas: exploró reinos explorados, fabricó millones de ojales, abrió un club de viudas heroicas y vendía el humo en botellas. Yo desde niño hice de Sancho contra mi socio quijotesco: alegué con fuerza y cordura como una tía protectora cuando quiso plantar naranjos en los techos de Notre-Dame. Luego, cansado de sufrirlo, lo dejé en una nueva industria: «Bote Ataúd», «Lancha Sarcófago» para presuntos suicidas: mi paciencia no pudo más y le corté mi vecindad. Cuando mi amigo fue elegido Presidente de Costaragua me designó Generalísimo, a cargo de su territorio: era su orden invadir las monarquías cafeteras regidas por reyes rabiosos que amenazaban su existencia. Por debilidad de carácter y amistad antigua y pueril acepté aquellas charreteras y con cuarenta involuntarios avancé sobre las fronteras. Nadie sabe lo que es morder el polvo de la derrota: entre Marfil y Costaragua se derritieron de calor mis aguerridos combatientes y me quedé solo, cercado por cincuenta reyes rabiosos. Volví contrito de las guerras: sin título de general. Busqué a mi amigo quijotero: nadie sabía dónde estaba. Lo encontré luego en Canadá vendiendo plumas de pingüino (ave implume por excelencia) (lo que no tenía importancia para mi compadre obstinado). El día menos pensado puede aparecer en su casa; créale todo lo que cuenta porque después de todo es él el que siempre tuvo razón. |

Dalai Lama
A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.
