To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.

William Blake

Why do some people always see beautiful skies
and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings,
while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?

Leo Buscaglia

i find it very difficult to draw a line between what's sex and what isn't. it can be very, very sexy to drive a car, and completely unsexy to flirt with someone at a bar --

i'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl --

all people have their own way of dealing with everyday problems. some go for walks, others get drunk and some get laid. i write songs--

If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will
see your parents and all generations of your ancestors.
All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in
your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Spirit Dancer · 04-23-2010, 06:25 PM

I wanted you to see what real courage is,
instead of getting an idea that courage is
a man with a gun in his hand. It's when
you know you're licked before you begin
but you begin anyway and you see it through
no matter what.

Harper Lee

Spirit Dancer · 04-23-2010, 06:25 PM

I do not ask to walk smooth paths
Nor bear an easy load.
I pray for strength and fortitude
To climb the rock-strewn road.

Give me such courage I can scale
The hardest peaks alone,
And transform every stumbling block
Into a steppingstone.

Gail Brook Burket

Spirit Dancer · 04-23-2010, 06:26 PM

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them,
more strength to relate to people than to dominate them,
more "manhood" to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex.
Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.

Alex Karras

Knowledge and Integrity. You can choose not to learn and you can choose to compromise your integrity, but no one can ever take either of them away from you. ~ My Dad.
