There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. An if you go to hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry........

“If my love were an ocean,
there would be no more land.
If my love were a desert,
you would see only sand.
If my love were a star-
late at night, only light.
And if my love could grow wings,
I'd be soaring in flight.”
~Jay Asher,

"Did you know...that when you walk past a flower,
whether it be in somebody's garden or on a vacant
hillside, the flower will always smile at you.
The most polite way to respond, I've been told,
is to cheerfully return the smile...."
-Ron Atchison.

"Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction.
If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be
bought in the market; it is not love.
To love is not to ask anything in return, not even
to feel that you are giving something --and
it is only such love that can know freedom."
~Jiddu Krishnamurti~

“It is always difficult to give oneself up; few persons anywhere ever succeed in doing so, and even fewer transcend the possessive stage to know love for what it actually is: a perpetual discovery, and immersion in the waters of reality, an unending re-creation.”

Admonitions To A Special Person



Watch out for power,
for its avalanche can bury you,
snow, snow, snow, smothering your mountain.

Watch out for hate,
it can open its mouth and you'll fling yourself out
to eat off your leg, an instant leper.

Watch out for friends,
because when you betray them,
as you will,
they will bury their heads in the toilet
and flush themselves away.

Watch out for intellect,
because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down,
mouthing knowledge as your heart
falls out of your mouth.

Watch out for games, the actor's part,
the speech planned, known, given,
for they will give you away
and you will stand like a naked little boy,
pissing on your own child-bed.

Watch out for love
(unless it is true,
and every part of you says yes including the toes) ,
it will wrap you up like a mummy,
and your scream won't be heard
and none of your running will end.

Love? Be it man. Be it woman.
It must be a wave you want to glide in on,
give your body to it, give your laugh to it,
give, when the gravelly sand takes you,
your tears to the land. To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall
into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.

Special person,
if I were you I'd pay no attention
to admonitions from me,
made somewhat out of your words
and somewhat out of mine.
A collaboration.
I do not believe a word I have said,
except some, except I think of you like a young tree
with pasted-on leaves and know you'll root
and the real green thing will come.

Let go. Let go.
Oh special person,
possible leaves,
this typewriter likes you on the way to them,
but wants to break crystal glasses
in celebration,
for you,
when the dark crust is thrown off
and you float all around
like a happened balloon.

“Don't ever make truth your enemy .” ― Steve Maraboli

“...no one can love a weak person hard enough to make them strong.”
― Pearl Cleage


“You don't fall in love with someone because it's convenient. You're only kidding yourself. Don't mistake attachment for love.You should know that is a huge mistake, your resentment should tell you this. ”
― Harriet Evans
