"I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time." — A.A. Milne

All day...

"The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong." — Groucho Marx

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.” ― Nora Roberts

How does a part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Do not try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire. Do not wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes it's in front. Only full, overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle. Your boundaries are your quest." — Rumi

"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror." — Kahlil Gibran

On my way to you...

-Georgia Okeeffe,  Starlight Night,  1922

“If you have two friends in your lifetime, you're lucky. If you have one good friend, you're more than lucky.” ― S.E. Hinton

Cat Power - Metal Heart

I want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks." — Jeff Buckley

It's ever so important to believe in what you do, trust your ability to create and show yourself worthy. Never sell yourself short.

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." — Henry Van Dyke

It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end.

Find my hand in the darkness, intertwined you will be the day to my night. We can share wings and take flight towards our own inner light.

Air - How Does It Make You Feel

The Kinks - Love Me Till The Sun Shines

Slipped Through the Fingers of Ambiguity

Here when gone

The essence remains

my vagrant heart

believes in love's domain

Clarity tugs at my leg

Wants to get picked up

I ignore and proffer it

drinking from confusion's cup

The skin on my teeth has a tear

But there is light in my eyes

All of my knots

Have now been untied

There is nothing to say

I made peace with this

Now it's clear

No longer a grey mist

Always a pile

Never a single strand

Felt myself get quiet 

Never want to demand 

An open field 

With empty hands 

Never to break

That which does not bend

“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh.

For some people, “the point of no return” begins at the very moment their souls become aware of each others’ existence.

There are things about ourselves that we need to get rid of; there are things we need to change. But at the same time, we do not need to be too desperate, too ruthless, too combative. Along the way to usefulness and happiness, many of those things will change themselves, and the others can be worked on as we go. The first thing we need to do is recognize and trust our own Inner Nature, and not lose sight of it. — Benjamin Hoff
