Happiness
Life in the barn
was very good
night and day
winter and summer
spring and fall
dull days
and bright days
It was the best place
to be
this warm delicious cellar
with the garrulous geese
the changing seasons
the heat of the sun
the passage of swallows
the nearness of rats
the sameness of sheep
the love of spiders
the smell of manure and the glory of everything
I removed only the punctuation, and the words, “thought Wilbur” from this lyrical and symbolic excerpt from the book, Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.

"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 IP: Logged |

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.

"...if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?"

"Never shall I find again that divine thing; a person with whom I could talk freely of everything, in whom I could confide. Confide? But did not others offer me greater confidence than Albertine? With others, did I not have more extensive conversations? The fact is that confidence and conversation are ordinary things in themselves, and what does it matter if they are less than perfect if only there enters into them love, which alone is divine. I could see Albertine now, seated at her pianola, pink-faced beneath her dark hair; I could feel against my lips, which she would try to part, her tongue, her maternal, incomestible, nutritious, hallowed tongue, whose secret dewy flame, even when she merely ran it over the surface of my neck or my stomach, gave to those caresses of hers, superficial but somehow imparted by the inside of her flesh, externalized like a piece of material, reversed to show its lining, at is were, the mysterious sweetness of a penetration." -- marcel proust

MysticMelody I love this quote:"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
-- Marcel Proust------------------
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year....
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ~Robert Frost IP: Logged |

Silverstone, I always enjoy your Frost signature.  Here is a newer one scribbled on the back of another shred of paper with an older favorite quote on the front. "Thoughts become Things" ~ The Secret IP: Logged |

I've always loved this one:
"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off...
They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating."
~ Pearl S. Buck

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson sometimes when I pray, the answer is so swift, so powerful, that it brings me to tears I mean, can a quote BE any better than this one?

I would only believe in a God who could dance. And when I saw my devil,
I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn:
he was the spirit of gravity - through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we kill.
Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!

"The difference between the divine and the human will is like the difference between the trunk of a tree and its branches. As from the boughs other twigs and branches spring, so the will of one powerful individual has branches going through the will of other individuals. So there are the powerful beings, the masters of humanity. Their will is God's will, their word is God's word, and yet they are branches, because the trunk is the will of the Almighty. Whether the branch be large or small, every branch has the same origin and the same root as the stem." Hazrat Inayat Khan  ------------------
