Baby
“Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but do not take from me your laughter. Do not take away the rose, the lance flower that you pluck, the water that suddenly bursts forth in joy, the sudden wave of silver born in you. My struggle is harsh and I come back with eyes tired at times from having seen the unchanging earth, but when your laughter enters it rises to the sky seeking me and it opens for me all the doors of life. My love, in the darkest hour your laughter opens, and if suddenly you see my blood staining the stones of the street, laugh, because your laughter will be for my hands like a fresh sword. Next to the sea in the autumn, your laughter must raise its foamy cascade, and in the spring, love, I want your laughter like the flower I was waiting for, the blue flower, the rose of my echoing country. Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon, laugh at the twisted streets of the island, laugh at this clumsy fool who loves you, but when I open my eyes and close them, when my steps go, when my steps return, deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter. ” ― Pablo Neruda |
Each friend represents a world in us,a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it's only by this meeting that a new world is born. Anias Nin

An Unsaid Word
She who has the power to call her man From that estranged intensity Where his mind forages alone, Yet keeps her peace and leaves him free, And when his thoughts to her return Stands where he left her, still his own, Knows this is the hardest thing to learn. Adrienne Rich |
Happiness often sneaks through a door you did'nt know you left open.

(Carl Jung) |
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

My Task
To love someone more dearly every day, To help a wandering child to find his way, To ponder o'er a noble thought, and pray, And smile when evening falls. This my task. To follow truth as blind men long for light, To do my best from dawn of day till night, TO keep my heart fit for His holy sight, And answer when He calls. This is my task. - Maude Louise Ray |

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." - Martha Washington |
Someone shared this quote with me a while back, thank you.
“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.” ~ Tom Robbins

I had to add one more. This is so good.
"There is a place where we are always alone with our own mortality, where we must simply have something greater than ourselves to hold onto—God or history or politics or literature or a belief in the healing power of love, or even righteous anger.... A reason to believe, a way to take the world by the throat and insist that there is more to this life than we have ever imagined." - Dorothy Allison

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics” - Albert Einstein

Shoes

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” ― Marilyn Monroe |
"We're a lukewarm people for all our feast days and hard work. Not much touches us, but we long to be touched. We lie awake at night willing the darkness to part and show us a vision. Our children frighten us in their intimacy, but we make sure they grow up like us. Lukewarm like us." - Jeanette Winterson's "The Passion"
