... i thought love got easier over the years
so it didn't hurt so bad when it hurt,
or feel so good when it felt good.
i thought it smoothed out and old people
hardly noticed it. -- louise erdrich

3 things cannot long be hidden. The sun the moon and the truth.- Confucious

To deny your hearts truth, is to imprison yourself. No happiness can ever be born of this.

The truth has within it self, the power to reveal itself. Try to squelch it, and it will deafen you. Deny it , and it will echo from every corner. Ignore it, and it will appear everywhere. Run from it , and it will show up in your dreams. That is how you will know.

We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire...give us the tools and we will finish the job.

~ Winston Churchill

To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.

~Pablo Picasso

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die,
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go,
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.

~Langston Hughes

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. ~ Og Mandino

"You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory -- and hire someone to protect against this -- because of the work the rest of us did.

"Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless -- keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

Elizabeth Warren

"Straight Americans need an education of the heart and soul.
They must understand - to begin with - how it can feel to spend
years denying your own deepest truths, to sit silently through classes,
meals, and church services while people you
love toss off remarks that brutalize your soul."
... Bruce Bawer

Fancy · 09-23-2011, 12:23 PM

Earth teach me resignation
as leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring.
