The Travail Of Passion
by William Butler Yeats When the flaming lute-thronged angelic door is wide; When an immortal passion breathes in mortal clay; Our hearts endure the scourge, the plaited thorns, the way Crowded with bitter faces, the wounds in palm and side, The vinegar-heavy sponge, the flowers by Kedron stream; We will bend down and loosen our hair over you, That it may drop faint perfume, and be heavy with dew, Lilies of death-pale hope, roses of passionate dream. |
So very true...
"Real empathy comes from feeling your partner's pain in a real way, and then doing something about it." John Gottman

"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do -- by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include."

Sincerity "The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 1955
Being sincere is being true to yourself. It is hard work being anything less. It takes a lot more mind games and that can be exhausting. What a terrible waste of energy! Being sincere is being genuine, authentic - and that is the more comfortable way to go. -Lissa Coffey |
“I believe all joy is an extension of gratitude. If we can find something to be thankful for, no matter what’s going on, no matter how small, we can grasp the coattails of joy.” —Xian Horn

'Twas Thanksgiving Night and all through the house Diva brought in decorations (Cuz she had no spouse!). The creatures were hiding all under the bed lest Mommy drop Santas right onto their heads! And I in my garage and finding it all, settled in for an evening of decking the Halls! ;-) When what to my wandering eyes did appear? A big red full box I thought I'd lost last year! With goodies and glitter and all things that shone, I brought them all into my sweet~scented home! Now Angels! Now Spangles! Now garlands and feathers! On stars and on snowflakes, let's make it much better! With box wine in hand, I stood up and admired a cute little Ricky climbing higher and higher! He was chubby and plump, a right sneaky fat cat And I laughed as I reached for the water ~ "You! SCAT!" I gathered the totes, lighter now than before, And squealed, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" as I slammed the back door! ~Diva |
Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar. -Bradley Miller, activist (b. 1956)
