God bless you Elizabeth Taylor.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Thank you Jack Kerouac. Forever your ghost gives me a feeling of not being alone amongst the shelves. |
My Mom's favourite poem. DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas |
Emily Dickinson (1830–86) Part One: Life XXXIII DARE you see a soul at the white heat? Then crouch within the door. Red is the fire’s common tint; But when the vivid ore Has sated flame’s conditions, Its quivering substance plays Without a color but the light Of unanointed blaze. Least village boasts its blacksmith, Whose anvil’s even din Stands symbol for the finer forge That soundless tugs within, Refining these impatient ores With hammer and with blaze, Until the designated light Repudiate the forge. |

Offer them what they secretly want and they of course immediately become panic-stricken.

“The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.” Maureen Dowd “Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.” Barbara De Angelis “If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that's far below what you deserve.” Anthony Robbins “The eyes shout what the lips fear to say.” William Henry |

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.

Dao De Jing
thirty spokes unite in one hub
it is precisely where there is nothing that we find the usefulness of the wheel we fire clay and make vessels it is precisely where there is no substance that we find the usefulness of clay pots we chisel out doors and windows it is precisely in these empty spaces that we find the usefulness of the room therefore, we regard having something as beneficial but having nothing as useful Lao Zi |

form does not differ from emptiness
emptiness does not differ from form that which is form is emptiness that which is emptiness form |

"An intelligent person will never be bored."
namaste, DamselFly |
"I am astonished, disappointed, pleased with myself. I am distressed, depressed, rapturous. I am all these things at once, and cannot add up the sum. I am incapable of determining ultimate worth or worthlessness; I have no judgment about myself and my life. There is nothing I am quite sure about. I have no definite convictions -- not about anything, really. I know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation of something I do not know. In spite of all uncertainties, I feel a solidarity underlying all existence and a continuity in my mode of being."
- C. G. Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", p. 392, published 2 years after his death |
