"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. Living with someone you really share things with is not only wonderful, it’s actually better than all the love songs, all the silly movies say it is. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more." - Erica JongIP: Logged |

"..Echoes fade and memories die;
Autumn frosts have slain July.Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes. Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near. In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die; Ever drifting down the stream--
Lingering in the golden gleam--
Life, what is it but a dream? " LIFE IS BUT A DREAM by: Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) IP: Logged |

When the sweet glance of my true love caught my eyes,
Like alchemy, it transformed my copper-like soul.
I searched for Him with a thousand hands,
He stretched out His arms and clutched my feet.

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.” ― Charles Bukowski IP: Logged |

Thanks for bringing this forward- Healing Mystic Melody. Took some time and read through some again. My thoughts back then still apply today. Wonderful thread.  I'll add another if that's okay... "In a dazzling vote of confidence for form
over substance our culture fawns over the fleetingness of being "in love" while discounting the importance of loving"

Without free animal life I believe we will lose the spiritual equivalent of oxygen." "it is this broken road with pitfalls and sharp turns and unexpected traverses that has brought me joy and adventure. " "In nature, nothing is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways and they're still beautiful." "We do not believe in heaven or hell...; we do not believe in eternal damnation. We believe only in the unavoidable horror of hurting others and of likewise being hurt." "She was so quiet. So reflective. And she could erase herself, her spirit, with a swiftness that truly startled, when she knew the people around her could not respect it." "I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose."
God, I miss the days when this thread was started. Unfortunately, the second-to-last quote is no longer applicable. It used to be. IP: Logged |

Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That’s what I know now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It’s real, though – the fury, even when it isn’t. It can change you… turn you… mold you and shape you into something you’re not. The only upside to anger, then… is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they’re not afraid to take the journey, someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a partially told story. That anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I’m only a child.~ From "The Upside of Anger"

Unlike a lot of people, I don't feel powerless. I know I can do something. But anyone can do something, it's not about being special. It's about deciding to do it - to dive into work for peace and justice and care for everybody on the planet. ~ Patch AdamsIP: Logged |

"Relentless isolation is not at all romantic. It's far worse than the stress of social life." "Such accounts are confirmed by a growing body of psychological evidence that indicates that supportive social contact, interaction and inclusion are fundamentally important to a minimally decent human life and, more deeply, to human wellbeing. For the most part, we need one another; we cannot flourish or even survive without each other. These fundamental needs are the ground for a range of rights that we neglect, but should not, including the rights to be part of a network of social connections." https://aeon.co/opinions/what-lies-behind-the-myth-of-the-strong-self-reliant-loner IP: Logged |
