Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.

Toni Morrison

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go,
Life is a barren field
frozen with snow.

~Langston Hughes

‎"Taking a breath, considering what outcome we truly desire and breaking the urge to respond from emotion is a habit worth forming." ~ Tamara Kerner

Love it! Been a hard and long lesson for me but I think I FINALLY have a grasp on this.

Well honey, I say that if something is making you say 'yum' and it makes your tummy happy, then it ain't bad for you. Butter is just a little stick of smiles and happiness. -- Paula Deen

TRUST? .. Years to earn, seconds to break.

Changing your life does not always mean that you stop doing certain things. It may mean that you start doing certain other things. Rather than beating yourself up for what you are not doing, appreciate and celebrate the things that you are doing. Focus on what you do, can do, choose to do, are ready to do.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

ee cummings

The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time. -Haruki Murakami

you must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star -nietzsche

i like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. this is the night, what it does to you. i had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion -jack kerouac

[these are my favourite quotes ... ever]

SoNotHer · 11-30-2011, 12:29 AM

Happy 176th Birthday, Mark Twain!

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained.

~Mark Twain, from Notebook, 1898

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Audrey Hepburn

-Red-Flag- · 11-30-2011, 09:18 AM

if i love You
(thickness means
worlds inhabited by roamingly
stern bright faeries

if you love
me) distance is mind carefully
luminous with innumerable gnomes
Of complete dream

if we love each (shyly)
other, what clouds do or Silently
Flowers resembles beauty
less than our breathing

ee cummings

MissItalianDiva · 11-30-2011, 10:38 AM

Beloveds, invest your time, energy and attention in working to bring about the things that you desire to experience. When you are confronted by something that challenges what you are working toward, do not be against it! Allow other things to exist. Simply choose to put your attention elsewhere.
