Oriah Mountain Dreamer: Lately. . . . frequently. . . . I just stop & reallize how happy I am feeling for no particular reason, just because. . . I am alive.

All of us have had the experience of a sudden joy that came when nothing in the world had forewarned us of its coming - a joy so thrilling that if it was born of misery we remembered even the misery with tenderness. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière

To be happy, you must fancy that everything you have is a gift, and you the chosen, though you worked your tail off for every bit of it. ~Robert Brault

There are those who shine so brightly, their flame is extinguished all too soon.

...and all in a moment's passing, gone was the women for whom I would have died, gone was the woman whom lived for me...

Three little words, "you need me", were the words that tumbled from my lips, my person, and my heart. When she finally spoke, she offered only an "I do, huh?". I nodded, telling her if only she would dance with me, I would tell her all the reasons why. She did, I did...and it was done.

Kobi · 03-18-2012, 05:41 AM

"Ordinary riches can be stolen from a man. Real riches cannot. In the treasury-house of your soul are infinitely precious things that may not be taken from you." ~ Oscar Wilde

deedarino · 03-18-2012, 08:29 AM

Such a delicate thing- caring for ourselves & offering assistance & support to others where we are able. The impulse to assist is genuine & heart-felt. Sometimes we only know in hindsight that we have dangerously depleted our inner or outer resources, neglected to take care of our own lives/health so we can continue to give from a place of joy & generosity. This discernment- knowing what we can offer in a sustainable way- rests on deep self-knowledge & acceptance of our resources we have in this moment, (which are always changing) & motives (which are sometimes tangled in old beliefs about needing to "earn" our right to be.) And still, it is our in nature to reach out & offer what we can- we are inter-dependent beings. May we draw a wide circle of compassion & make sure to put ourselves on the inside along with all other sentient beings. ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer
