Love Compared

I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady
should another give you a cloud
I give you rain
Should he give you a lantern, I
will give you the moon
Should he give you a branch
I will give you the trees
And if another gives you a ship
I shall give you the journey.

Here are some funny quotes. 1) Your legs must be tired because you have been running through my mind all night. 2) If you cant see the bright side of life polish the dull side. 3) A good speech should be like a womans skirt: long enough to cover the subject but short enough to create interest.

"It's very difficult to live an ethically intelligent life," Weinstein said. "Keeping your word, keeping things private, telling the truth, avoiding hurting people, being fair and compassionate, all this takes work."

what you bring forth will save you.
If you don't bring forth what is inside you,

Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of
God's greatest gifts.

It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of
one's self and appreciating what is noble and loving in another.
- Thomas Hughes

Where there are friends, there is wealth.
- Titus Maccius Plautus

Few delights can equal the mere presence of someone we
utterly trust.
- George MacDonald

I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see.”― Sophie Kinsella

“If you don't receive love from the ones who are meant to love you, you will never stop looking for it.” ― Robert Goolrick

1) I am proud to be Native. 2) Respect all things that were placed upon this earth- whether it be people or a plant. 3) Honor other peoples thoughts, wishes and words. 4) Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

ABUNDANCE IS MY INHERITANCE

Abundance is mine. I cannot be deprived of my supply. The trees do not lack for leaves, nor do the flowers fail to bloom. Am I not as important as they? “Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not neither do they spin, yet . . . Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.”

I look at the lavish wastefulness of Nature and know that god intended me to be as abundantly supplied, with everything that makes for beauty, well-being, progressive living and happiness. I, myself, am to blame when these "fruits of the Spirit" fail to appear.

Since I know the Truth of my being, I will no longer hinder or retard my good from coming to me. I will expect and accept all that I need to make life happy and worth while; for I am a child of the Spirit, and every attribute of It--every attribute of Good--is my inheritance.

Nothing but lack of faith can keep my good from me, for I am one with the Universal Essence of Life, or Spirit, and Its Substance will manifest in my experience as I believe. No longer will I go for my good, carrying only a dipper to be filled. This day, as I turn to the Mother/Father within, I bring "all the empty vessels" knowing they will be filled, and my abundance will become manifest.

Abundance is My Inheritance.

Holmes, Ernest (2007-12-27). Prayer: How to Pray Effectively from the Science of Mind
