as my very little son used to say:
"Look at the moon, Momma....no matter where we are in the world, remember we are looking at the same moon. That way we won't be so lonely for each other."

Loving strangers, loving strangers,
loving strangers, oh...

I've got a hole in my pocket
where all the money has gone
and I've got a whole lot of work
to do with your heart
cause it's so busy, mine's not

Loving strangers, loving strangers,
loving strangers, oh...

It's just the start of the winter
and I'm all alone
and I've got my eye right on you
give me a coin and I'll take you to the moon
give me a beer and I'll kiss you so foolishly,
like you do when you lie, when you're not in my thoughts,
like you do when you lie and I know it's not my imagination

Loving strangers, loving strangers,
loving strangers, oh...

(Loving Strangers, Russian Red)

Nature gave men two ends - one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most. ~George R. Kirkpatrick

• While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things. Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.

• Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.

• For women the best aphrodisiacs are words. The G-spot is in the ears. He who looks for it below there is wasting his time.

And thou shalt in thy daughter see,

Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again, that I am a nobody."

Henri Nouwen

Courage begins when we can admit that there is no life without some pain, some frustration; that there is no tragic accident to which we are immune; and that beyond the normal exercise of prudence we can do nothing about it. But courage goes on to see that the triumph of life is not in pains avoided, but in joys lived completely in the moment of their happening. Courage lies in never taking so much as a good meal or a day of health and fair weather for granted. It lies in learning to be aware of our moments of happiness as sharply as our moments of pain. We need not be afraid to weep when we have cause to weep, so long as we can really rejoice at every cause for rejoicing.

Victoria Lincoln

The worst tempered people I have ever met were those who knew that they were wrong. -Wilson Mizner

The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. -Bertrand Russell

When I look back on all the worries I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which never happened.-Winston Churchill

You’ve got to sing like you don’t need the money.
You’ve got to love like you’ll never get hurt.
You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching.
You’ve got to come from the heart, if you want it to work.

Susanna Clark

I wish there were a book I could read each day to tell me exactly what to do to live consciously from my heart and soul. But part of the mystery and magic, part of the reason I'm here, is to try to stumble through and hear what the soul has to say about what it needs at each moment--whether it is to work through an emotional block, discover what the next lesson is, meet the next soul mate (my children are soul mates; my best friends are soul mates), or finish my business with the one I'm with now. Ultimately, for most of us, the journey comes down to the same issue: learning to love freely. First ourselves, then other people.

Melody Beattie
