"Love isn't a function of communication. Love is a function of connection. Poor communication doesn't disconnect souls, it's the disconnected souls who poorly communicate."

Shallow love makes excuses, real love finds a way.- Me

deedarino · 06-04-2012, 08:15 AM

From FB~Wild and Wise Women....

Oh yes, fireworks are pretty ...
And rollercoasters are great fun
Both can take your breath away.
For me, they can not be my 'every day' ~
Although some teachings disagree.
Whether romance, occupation, friendship,
Purpose, Calling, or how and with who I spend my time;
I choose to 'breathe' as my everyday ...
The rocking hammock with the cool breeze
And arms around me of one who seriously and calmly ...
Loves me.
And every so often ... with laughter and a kiss
I shall welcome the breathlessness that the fireworks and
Rollercoasters bring. And for me, not only is that enough ...
It is everything.

gaea · 06-04-2012, 08:35 AM

there is no present like the gift of today
yesterday is gone
tomorrow awaits
all we have is the moment we are in
if you see someone without a smile, give them yours..
time is valuable, spend it wisely

i like all these i do not know who wrote them all...

Breaking up is like blowing glass. Better to let it fail honestly and leave it broken than to hurt yourself in the process of trying to save it or put it back together again.

Dale Chihuly

Breaking up is like losing weight. Everyone says it was the right thing to do and how proud they are of you for doing it but that always leaves you wondering what they thought about you before it happened.

Inga Muscio

"ay, love is a journey through waters and stars, through suffocating air, sharp tempests of grain: love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness. kiss by kiss i cover your tiny infinity, your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages..."

{pablo neruda: carnal apple, woman filled, burning moon,}

oh pablo, you just gave me all kinds of life.

One thing only I know,

"The painful thing is that when we buy into disapproval, we are practicing disapproval. When we buy into harshness, we are practicing harshness. The more we do it, the stronger these qualities become. How sad it is that we become so expert at causing harm to ourselves and others. The trick then is to practice gentleness and letting go. We can learn to meet whatever arises with curiosity and not make it such a big deal."

{Pema Chodron}
