“Silence...
It has a sound, a fullness.
It's heavy with sigh of tree,
and space between breaths.
It's ripe with pause between birdsong
and crash of surf.
It's golden they say.
But no one tells us it's addictive.”
― Angela Long

I feel opposite of this quote actually. When noone loves you that's when you really have to love yourself. And that is why you have to, as well. Sort of like when you are pedaling uphill and it is getting really hard to pedal, that is when you have to pedal twice as hard. Just my spin on it.

Sometimes, simply by sitting, the soul collects wisdom.
Zen proverb

Katniss · 02-08-2013, 09:35 AM

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Khalil Gibran

I do believe in love at first sight. I believe in a lot of thing. I truly believe everything happens for a reason, even if some things are terrible or it didnt want to happen. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who dont, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life let it.

I Crave Your Mouth - Pablo Neruda

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent, starving I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disquiets me,
I search the liquid sound of your steps all day.
I hunger for your sleek laugh,
For your hands the color of the wild grain,
I hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your loveliness,
The nose, sovereign of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

And I walk hungry, smelling the twilight
Looking for you, for your hot heart,
Like a puma in the barren wilderness.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

ENDURANCE
"Can thy heart endure?
Ezek. 22:14

At times when you are not secure...
Determine that you will endure...
When Hate and Persecution make...
Your lot seem worse than you can take...
Don't panic or curse back or quit...
Be patient, calm, and stick with it...
Right will prevail, have Faith and Hope...
And with God's help endure and cope...
With bitter and false accusation...
And overcome Hate's condemnation.
Julien C. Hyer

First Snow, (Excerpted from American Primitive), Mary Oliver

The snow
began here
this morning and all day
continued, its white
rhetoric everywhere
calling us back to why, how,
whence such beauty and what
the meaning; such
an oracular fever! flowing
past windows, an energy it seemed
would never ebb, never settle
less than lovely! and only now,
deep into night,
it has finally ended.
The silence
is immense,
and the heavens still hold
a million candles, nowhere
the familiar things:
stars, the moon,
the darkness we expect
and nightly turn from. Trees
glitter like castles
of ribbons, the broad fields
smolder with light, a passing
creek bed lies
heaped with shining hills;
and though the questions
that have assailed us all day
remain — not a single
answer has been found –
walking out now
into the silence and the light
under the trees,
and through the fields,
feels like one.
