We who choose to surround ourselves
with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the neccesary plan.... --- Irving Townsend --- "The Once Again Prince" |
"The measure of an enthusiasm must be taken between interesting events. It is between bites that the lukewarm angler loses heart."
-Edwin Way Teale |
"The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
-Victor Hugo |
“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.” - Anonymous |
“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” - Catherine Ponder |
"A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars." - Henry David Thoreau |
If you aren't pushing your limits, you aren't going far enough, and you still don't know who you are.
- Paulo Coelho |
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
~ Elizabeth Gilbert, "Eat, Pray, Love |
Forgiveness does not equal forgetting. It is about healing the memory of the harm, not erasing it.
~Ken Hart |
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
~Norman Schwarzkopf |
“Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear”
Thomas Jefferson Translation to current day Question the very existence of a supreme being, for if there is one, they must rather have people who question them and use logic.... then follow something blindly out of fear." |
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.~Buddha

A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it.
Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself. ~ Gary Zukav & Linda Francis - The Heart of the Soul ~ |
Albert Memmi
"Racism does not limit itself to biology or economics or psychology or metaphysics; it attacks along many fronts and in many forms, deploying whatever is at hand, and even what is not, inventing when the need arises." |
Everywhere being nowhere,
who can prove one place more than another? We come back emptied, to nourish and resist the words of coming to rest: birthplace, roofbeam, whitewash, flagstone, hearth like unstacked iron weights afloat among galaxies. - Seamus Heaney |
"In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks." ~ Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes"

I tell you everything that is really nothing, and nothing of what is everything, do not be fooled by what I am saying. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I am not saying.
~Charles C. Finn |
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
~Peter F. Drucker |
"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing." ~ Unknown

I love seeing a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.

“Not only do physically disabled people have experiences which are not available to the able-bodied, they are in a better position to transcend cultural mythologies about the body, because they cannot do things the able-bodied feel they must do in order to be happy, ‘normal,’ and sane….If disabled people were truly heard, an explosion of knowledge of the human body and psyche would take place.” – Susan Wendell

Forgiveness ... is a willingness to get over what you think should have happened and an acceptance of the reality of what actually happened.(f)

Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of success than enquire whose soul dangles from his watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both parties and because you unflinchingly applaud all songs containing the words country home and mother when sung at the old howard Humanity i love you because when you're hard up you pawn your intelligence to buy a drink and when you're flush pride keeps you from the pawn shops and because you are continually committing nuisances but more especially in your own house Humanity i love you because you are perpetually putting the secret of life in your pants and forgetting it's there and sitting down on it and because you are forever making poems in the lap of death Humanity i hate you ee cummings |
When I die if you need to weep
Cry for your brother or sister Walking the street beside you: And when you need me put your arms around anyone And give them what you need to give me. I want to leave you something - Something better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I've known or loved And if you cannot give me away At least let me live in your eyes and not on your mind. You can love me most by letting hands touch hands; By letting bodies touch bodies; And by letting go of children that need to be free. Love doesn't die; people do. So when all that's left of me is love, Give me away. -Merritt Malloy |
Worry about the Amazon - it's the lungs of the world. Destroy it and we destroy the world. Come here and see for yourself. Hire local people to take you into the jungle like me and we will have an alternative source of income through tourism. Moises "Baruga" Soria Huane (Peruvian logger)

being to timelessness as it's to time,
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end: where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim love is the air the ocean and the land (do lovers suffer?all divinities proudly descending put on deathful flesh: are lovers glad?only their smallest joy's a universe emerging from a wish) love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear: the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun more last than star - -do lovers love?why then to heaven with hell. whatever sages say and fools,all's well ee cummings |
Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings. Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all things are blest.The blessing is in the seed.
Muriel Rukeyser |
"she held her grief behind her eyes like an ocean & when she leaned forward into the day it spilled onto the floor & she wiped at it quickly with her foot & pretended no one had seen." ~ Brian Andreas, "Storypeople"
