Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today...
– James Dean*********************************************************************************************0 -
"I'm too blessed to be stressed."
From an older woman (actually, she's not really "older", maybe in her early 60s) who lives in my building...she's on oxygen and has other obvious health problems. Always compliments my hair, always is genuinely friendly, kind, gracious.
Riding down in the elevator with her, we stopped on a floor where a young woman with MS was waiting in her wheelchair. I've seen her health degenerate from where she only needed a walker.
This morning, I learned that my co-worker had a stroke and died on Friday. Her husband of over 30-something years is just lost without her.
As heavy as my heart is today, I am more aware than ever of how very blessed I am, no matter what life may throw at me.
Those six words from my neighbor made a difference to me, and she probably doesn't even know it.
And it really doesn't matter - the love you take is...well, we all know.0 -
I just love this quote...
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning....
You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near,
let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness.
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could !!!.....

To all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes
But you sneezed them out while sleeping

Perception is the way of truth. - Not conviction, not method, but perception is the way of truth. It is a state of effortless awareness, pliable awareness, choiceless awareness.

“I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.
Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you....
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
"more”...
― Rumi*********************************************************************************************0 -
“On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a day.”

Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore."
"Impossible, you say? Yes, and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you. Everything must have an ending except my love for you."
(i paraphrased the end slightly)0 -
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains0 -

Apologizing does not always mean that you’re wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
