“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”~Christopher Robin to Winnie The Pooh IP: Logged |

Being born on the earth is the highest honor and greatest privilege. To be alive as human beings gives us the chance to pull off exquisite and Herculean feats of magic that are not possible in nirvana or heaven or any other so-called paradise, higher dimension, or better place.Rob Brezsny American Author, Storyteller and Rock Musician IP: Logged |

Welcome Ghani girl  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David Hume: Truth springs from argument amongst friends. Deng Ming-Dao: Those truly linked don't need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, Their friendship is as true as ever. Don Marquis: There is nothing we like to see so much as the gleam of pleasure in a person's eye when he feels that we have sympathized with him, understood him. At these moments something fine and spiritual passes between two friends. These are the moments worth living. E. B. White: You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that. Charlotte, "Charlotte's Web"
E.M. Forster:
One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. E.R. Bulwer-Lytton: It is difficult to say who do you the most mischief: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best. Ecclesiasticus 6:14: A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure. Edgar Watson Howe: When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. Eleanor Roosevelt: Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world. Elie Wiesel: Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing. Elizabeth Foley: The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. Ella Wheeler Wilcox: All love that has not friendship for its base,
Is like a mansion built upon the sand. IP: Logged |

It is almost entirely to troubles that we owe the absence of troubles.Only the strongest souls are infested with the fiercest devils;
the extent to which a disease may progress (without killing its subject)
is checked only by the frailty, not the fortitude, of his constitution. A truth for all time takes time to realize. When a rose blooms, it knows it is a rose.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities: the punishment that brought us peace was upon him; and with his wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

"I am the wine-drinker and the wine and the cup-bearer.""I came forth from Bayazid-ness
as a snake from its skin.
Then I looked and saw that
lover, beloved, and love are one;
for in the world of Unity all can be one."

"How bewitching the beauty of the human body,
composed not of paint or stone,
but of living, corruptible matter,
charged with the secret fevers of life and decay!
Consider the wonderful symmetry of this structure:
shoulders and hips and nipples
swelling on either side of the breast,
and ribs arranged in pairs,
and the navel centered in the belly's softness,
and the dark sex between the thighs.
Consider the shoulder blades
moving beneath the silky skin of the back,
and the backbone in its descent
to the paired richness of the cool buttocks,
and the great branching of vessels and nerves
that passes from the torso
to the arms by way of the armpits,
and how the structure of the arms
corresponds to that of the legs!"
- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”
~unknown“There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”
~Don Juan deMarco “Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.”
~Gary Zukav “It has been said that we need just three things in life: Something to do, Something to look forward to And someone to love.”
~unknown
"Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity."
~Doc Childre
"Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain."
~Leo Buscaglia
"In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?"
~Igor Stravinsky
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves."
~Rainer Maria Rilke
"We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another."
~Luciano de Crescenzo
"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with."
~Unknown "True love never lives happily ever after - true love has no ending."
~K Knight "The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."
~Sir Hugh Walpoe

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.”~ Gloria Naylor
“We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.”

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."~Mary Jean Iron

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." Author Unknown IP: Logged |

The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night;
they shriek and rage and quarrel -- and all of them are right.

The rest is not our business

"The innermost point of the awareness of God has become so faint that the essence of God is conceived only as a stern power from whom you cannot escape, to whom you must subjugate yourself. If you submit to the service of God on this empty basis, you gradually lose your radiance by constricting your consciousness."~ Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”
