Thinking brings us to the foot of the mountain; faith brings us to the top.
Lin-Chi

Kätzchen · 10-17-2010, 12:22 PM

You sing, and your voice peels the husk
of the day's grain, your song with the sun and sky,
the pine trees speak with their green tongue:
All the birds of the winter whistle.

The sea fills its cellar with footfalls,
with bells, chains, whimpers,
the tools and the metal's jangle,
wheels of the caravan creak.

But I hear only your voice, your voice
soars with the zing and precision of an arrow,
it drops with gravity of rain,

Your voice scatters the highest swords
and returns with its cargo of violets:
it accompanies me through the sky.

~ Pablo Neruda

Diva · 10-17-2010, 12:56 PM

“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy.

Spirit Dancer · 10-18-2010, 07:25 AM

I hate ruts. Ruts are common, unimaginative, and oh, so boring.
I know because I've spent time in them. Actually, I even took up
emotional residence in a couple. To make them more comfortable,
I even decorated them. I adorned the walls with excuses:
"I can't," "I tried," and "I don't wanna." Those are just a few
of the plagues, I mean plaques, I hung in my ruts.

Patsy Clairmont
