"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

-Kahlil Gibran

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.
...
I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.
You will hardly know who I am or What I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.
"The glittering ambiguity of a girl's smile, which seems to promise an answer to the question but never gives it."
"Too simple to be uncomplicated"

"When God gives a friend, he is entrusting us with the care of another's heart."
~ "Captivating" by John and Staci Eldridge
"We love our friends by pursuing them- calls, little presents, cards, invitations to play, to go for a walk, to go to a movie. We offer our hearts."
~ "Captivating" by John and Staci Eldridge
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
"We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are we not to be? You are a child of God.”
“Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”
“It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear,our presence automatically liberates others.”
~ “Return To Love” by Marianne Williamson
"Stop reading my private thoughts that I openly posted on the world wide, highly traveled, information superhighway!!!!!
Chuckle."
