rush to me
in sweet embrace
rewrite passion
across my face
hold my hand
to your heart
as you lead us
through the dark
sink in silence
pull me close
alluding words
we never spoke
lips and nose
brush lightly
breathing in
out with me

"Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity...Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom.... love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'."
~M. Scott Peck

"So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable."
~Christopher Reeve

Do you go the extra mile? Do you do more than is expected? Or do you do just enough to get by? Going the extra mile means taking what you have and looking for ways to expand it - you believe in your ability to make it happen. It means moving beyond limiting beliefs, restrictive behaviors and being willing to have more that you do right now.

~Iyanla Vanzant

I'd rather have a life of 'Oh well's' than a life of What if's.'

Nat · 07-09-2013, 08:21 AM

"Someone told me once that every time when I was growing up and my needs weren't met, it's like a ghost of me at that age was created.

So if I was 6 years old and a parent was emotionally unavailable or something like that, and I so needed that validation and that need wasn't met, immediately a ghost of that 6 year old was created and it follows me around for the rest of my life.

I then continually perpetuate that by rejecting my feelings when I think I need some emotional support. I'm like, "no, no, no - I shouldn't be needing emotional support." And that 6 year old is triggered all over again and that ghost is still there.

And someone told me I could just accept it - that I didn't have to act on it, I could just accept it. I could just say to myself, "I know you're scared, you need emotional support. I've got your back."

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life’s actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent YOUR dash?

-Linda Ellis
