Love Sonnet 29
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings. ~Shakespeare |

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." ~ Alan Cohen

You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
~ Sam Keen What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose. ~ Henry Ward Beecher There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. ~ Mother Teresa We can only learn to love by loving. ~Iris Murdoch Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love. ~Anonymous To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. ~Bertrand Russell, Earl Russell I hold it true, what e'er befall; I feel it , when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. ~Alfred, Lord Tennyson Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart My silent heart, lie still and break. ~Christina Rossetti Knowledge talks, wisdom listens. ~ Unknown The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open. ~ Unknown Life isn’t worth living for, unless you have something worth dying for. - Unknown Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. ~Jean Anouilh (1910-1987) Love never claims, it ever gives. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things. ~Paul (A.D. First Century) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." ~Elizabeth Browning |

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God." And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. ~ Kahlil Gibran The Prophet "Love" |
"If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give." ~ Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

To set us on a clear path, it is important to communicate well, at least
with ourselves. To know what we want, to know what we mean, and to learn to express ourselves clearly, with as little confusion as possible. If you are confused about yourself, you can expect to be misunderstood by those around you. You have to set your mind straight, and that is a task that no one else can undertake for you. Rosemary Altea |
The balance and peace we seek for ourselves and our society
won’t be achieved through mental effort alone. Mind and spirit are meant to travel together, with spirit leading the way. Until we make a conscious commitment to understand and embrace our spiritual nature, we will endure the ache of living without the awareness and guidance of the most essential part of ourselves. Susan L. Taylor |

Dalai Lama
To the extent that our experience of suffering reminds us of what everyone else also endures, it serves as a powerful inspiration to practice compassion and avoid causing others pain. And to the extent that suffering awakens our empathy and causes us to connect with others, it serves as the basis of compassion and love.

Anais Nin
" I am an excitable woman who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another." Anais Nin

To love women and never enjoy them, is as much to love wine and never taste it. -- John Lyly |
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. -- Anais Nin

Cowboy's Dream
Every cowboy has one, Just like his hat, boots and jeans. It's a part of his genetic make-up, This thing called a Cowboy's Dream. Now this dream has many sections, And each section has just as many parts. But the end result leads to a cowboy's toughest feature, Located smack dab in the middle of his heart. Now give the cowboy credit, Cause he'll try his damnedest not to show it. But most of us have been through it enough, To speak in detail about how we know it. His vision of perfect beauty, One that could steal his breath at any moment. A life put on hold and a mind on edge, By the reoccurring dream of that special woman. Within his life of solitude, A cowboy's mind is plagued with lots of time. Time spent on opinions he'll never use, And the girl he might never find. Most any cowboy has had his share, Of women along the way. And people will argue that he's just a player, Using those women in his sinister game. But that isn't true for the better of 'em, And if you could get him to speak he'd probably say. That his cowboy dream would be his perfect match, One from which he'll never stray. Her heart would be as big as his, Her soul at least twice or more. So sweet and rare, a desert jewel, Like a rose without the thorns. She'd smell like the mountain flowers, And her lips would hold the perfect taste. The desire she brings him makes the time without her, Time he's made to waste. Her eyes would dance with a million emotions, Changing no matter brown, green or blue. Her flowing hair straight from angels spindles, Taylor made to run hands through. And the curves of her luscious body. The one's at home in Wrangler's or a Sunday dress. Have a way to make the cleanest cowboy, Turn completely to a big old' mess. Of course, she'd possess a streak of toughness, Cause the hay needs bucking and those calves need a brand. And when it came to moments of passion, He would feel the tenderness in her hand. The cowboy dreams of rescuing his woman, From the hustle of today's stressful mix. This quiet knight could slay her dragon, And win her heart, which he would fix. In return she'd mend his wounds, Accustomed to all those rodeo falls. And as long as he was willing, her guarantee to him, Would be her by his side through it all. They'd spend their nights on an old porch swing, Embraced, as they gaze at the stars. Knowing their love is forever safe, Within each others arms. For years and years their fire would burn, Through all the nasty, stormy weather. And when it came time to end it all, The cowboy and her would take one last ride up to heaven together. Well sure as the cowboy was born to ride, He was also born to dream. All the women left in his wake, Will now know what he means. The cowboy has a way of hiding, Things he never wants to show. The most important being his broken heart, Which that special women could make whole. For years, it seems, he'll make the wait, Till he's able to slip out of 'dem jeans. When he'll crawl into bed, and rest his head, In the arms of his Cowboy Dream. |
"Do not let your fire go out...spark by irreplaceable spark...in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish...in lonely frustration for the life you deserved...but never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real. It is possible, it is yours."
-Ayn Rand |
