"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” Coco Chanel

“I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again, so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light.”

― Barbara Brown Taylor

“Memory, when it juts, retreats, recovers, shows us how to hold the darkness, how to breathe.” ― Drew Myron

“... your heart is your soul twinkling in the black firmament inside you...”

- John Geddes

“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.”

― Paulo Coelho

“To be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”

― E.E. Cummings

“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.”

― Kahlil Gibran

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

― Mary Oliver

The power of a women
 

I am the powerful....
I am the goddess...
The vagrant of innocence....
Walking upon clouds of dreams...
Out reaching for tall tree worlds.....
I fall back to earth landing upon the wolf....
My brother yin is hungry...he stalks me...
Relentless....for I am the goddess the bitch and female...
We dance...am I free or do I face death....
The moon is high...we sleep with warmth..
Only to...balance another day...

“Nevertheless, this is where it begins. The first word appears only at a moment when nothing can be explained anymore, at some instant of experience that defies all sense. To be reduced to saying nothing. Or else, to say himself: this is what haunts me. And then to realize, almost in the same breath, that this is what he haunts.” ― Paul Auster

“There was this constant urge in me to tear my insides apart,
I didn't know why. By the time I made my mind that it was impossible for me
to do, there alighted the fear, haunting me with the words that rang
constantly in my head, "You're not brave enough".


I didn't feel devastated, I felt the urge to be devastated.”

― Sanhita Baruah

“There’s a little angel on one of my shoulders saying that this is a wicked thing to do. Then there’s a little devil on my other shoulder, and she looks a lot like you.” ― Christina Harlin

Actions speak louder than words!

There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. - Frank Zappa

Fix the reflection in the mirror and toss all the anger the load that you carry will be much lighter!

“Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you.
You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on
some other body, some external form.”
-Eckhart Tolle
