"Heartbreak opens onto the sunrise For even breaking is opening And I am broken I’m open Broken to the new light without pushing in Open to the possibilities within, pushing out See the love shine in through my cracks? See the light shine out through me? I am broken I am open I am broken open See the love light shining through me Shining through my cracks Through the gaps My spirit takes journey My spirit takes flight Could not have risen otherwise And I am not running I’m choosing Running is not a choice from the breaking Breaking is freeing Broken is freedom I am not broken I’m free." Spoken by Alike (Adepero Oduye) Written by Dee Rees Movie: Pariah |

"When you feel taken advantage of at home or work, don't sulk and say things like 'Nobody cares.' Why tell them the obvious? Clearly let them know what you really do want… it might just get you some respect." LORETTA LAROCHE |
“In French you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu se manques,” which means, “you are missing from me.” I love that.”
“You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.” -unknown |
I like the rhythm of this poem as well as its elegant simplicity.
Wander-Thirst
Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be; It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say good-bye; For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! the call of the sky! I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are; But a man can have the sun for a friend, and for his guide a star; And there's no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard, For the rivers call, and the roads call, and oh! the call of the bird! Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away; And come I may, but go I must, and, if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white road and the sky. -Gerald Gould |
“Happiness is not a checklist. A dream job, a fast car, a good home, even love,
mean nothing at all if you have not yet found a way to feel full and content in your own mind and heart.” -Beau Taplin |
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
- Arnold Bennett |
“To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.” - Criss Jami

Knowledge makes me more aware, it makes me more conscious. "Knowing" is painful because after "it" happens I can't stay in the same place and be comfortable. I am no longer the same person I was before.
Gloria Anzaldúa |

536. Ode
..What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind ..[H. Wordsworth] |
