If he is to be at peace with himself. What a man can be he must be." ~~~Abraham Maslow "Today, like every other day we wake up empty and frightened.

The Brothers Karamazov The Art of Living Well Love Life. Take great pleasure in small offerings. Believe that the world owes you nothing. Understand that every gift given to you is exactly that. Realize that people who are different from you can be founts of fun. ~~~Maya Angelou No Man is an Island No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clog be washed away by the sea Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It Tolls For Thee. ~~~~John Donne ~~~No Man Is an Island "The Enfield of India 350cc Bullet was a single cylinder, four stroke motorcycle, constructed to the plans of the original 1950's model of the British Royal Enfield. Renowned for it's idiosyncratic handling as much as for its reliability and durability, the Bullet was a bike that demanded a relationship with its rider. That relationship involved tolerance, patience, and understanding on the part of the rider. In exchange, the Bullet provided the kind of soaring, celestial, wind-weaving pleasure that birds must know, punctuated by not infrequent near-death experiences." ~~~Shantaram~~~ Gregory David Roberts "If you live the questions, life will move you into the answers". ~~~Mark Nepo [We] will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation ... what we lack is not a will to believe but a will to wonder ... reverence is one of [our] answers to the presence of mystery ... ~~~Abraham Heschel We are put here for a little space that we may learn how to bear the beams of love. ~~~William Blake "The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine." ~~~Sir James Jeans 1937 "Ever consider this Universe as one living Being, with one material substance and one spirit. Contemplate the fundamental causes, stripped of all disguises." ~~~Marcus Aurelius (121-180) The heart does not label or manipulate, it just allows. ~~Stephen Levine (b. 1937) American writer Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much the heart can hold. ~~Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-1948) American writer " I want your sun to reach my raindrops, so your heat can raise my soul upward like a cloud." ~~Rumi A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. ~~Oliver Wendell Holmes As all the Heavens were a Bell And Being, but an Ear . . . ~~Emily Dickinson I'm restless.

My hair is being pulled by the stars again. ~~Anais Nin Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels, unawares. ~~Hebrews 13:2 It is only with the heart thart one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ~~Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~~The Little Prince There is always an unspoken mystery in their LOVE which God leaves to them to solve and cherish till eternity. They share one of the most compatible relationships. Both give each other the Freedom & Love they crave to return to the promise of each others arms. The point in life is to know what's enough-- With the happiness held in one inch-square heart you can fill the whole space between Heaven and Earth. ~~ Gensei I can't go on. I go on. ~~Samuel Beckett We're stronger in the places we've been broken. ~~Ernest Hemingway "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." ~~~Charles Dickens "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self". ~~Ernest Hemingway One Hundred Years of Solitude. by: Gabriel Garcia Marquez "What does he say?" he asked.

"The measureless understanding of solitude." ~~ggm "Orchids smelling of solitude and oblivion". ~~ggm Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest Is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. He has taken me to the ...Expand for more
banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. ~~SONG of SONGS 2:3-7 "There will always be majic to Love." "The God of Love lives in a state of need." ~~Plato "Listen at the air, listen to the buzzing of the sun, the same as yesterday, and the day before." ~~Jose Arcadio Buendia Exodus 10. The Plague of the Locust Then the Lord said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord." ....

This, my friends, is the crux of our SOLITUDE." all that they've been living out in the village has been pre-ordained. There are two ways to live your life . One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~~Albert Einstein DESIRE WHO never wanted, - maddest joy Remains to him unknown; The banquet of abstemiousness Surpass that of wine. Within its hope, though yet I grasped Desire's perfect goal, No nearer, lest reality Should disenthrall thy soul. ~Emily Dickinson "But already my desire and my will were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed, by the love which moves the sun and the other stars". ~~The Divine Comedy ~~Dante Alighieri "Look, words are like the air: they belong to everybody. Words are not the problem; it's the tone, the context, where those words are aimed, and in whose company they are uttered. Of course murderers and victims use the same words, but I never read the words utopia, or beauty, or tenderness in a police description. Do you know what the Argentinean dictatorship burnt ? The Little Prince. And I think they were right to do so not because I do not love The Little Prince, but because the book is so full of tenderness that it would harm any dictatorship." ~~Juan Gelman Thomas Merton amongst many books, wrote. ' The Seven Storey Mountain' that book was transformational to me and I read several of his other books; The Seven Story Mountain I will revisit. " Solitude is a way to defend the spirit against the murderous din of our materialism." ~~ Thomas Merton " Reason is in fact the path to faith, and faith takes over when reason can say no more." ~~Thomas Merton Theologian " Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another." ~~Thomas Merton "Music speaks what cannot be expressed Soothes the mind and gives it rest Heals the mind and makes it whole Flows from heaven to the soul." ~~UNKNOWN "Religion is the true philosopher's stone that turns everything to gold." ~Thomas watson "Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. Reactions from those parts of you will reinforce your children's most primitive fears." ~~Henry Cloud "I call upon tenderness - love as tenderness - there's plenty of charm in tenderness" "You're the most beautiful and wonderful thing in the world. You're a Man ." ~ April Wheeler 'Revolutionary Road' author: Richard Yates "It is in the compelling Zest of High Adventure and of Victory, and in Creative Action, that Man finds his Supreme JOY." ~~Antoine de Saint-Exupery ~~ Wind, Sand and Stars "Your DESTINY is determined by the higher influences of yout SOUL". ~caroline myss "The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love." ~~ Margaret Atwood - novelist and poet The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object (in the sensation which that material object will give us ) which we do not suspect. And as for that object, it depends on chance whether we come upon it or not before we ourselves must die. ~~ from Swann's Way Marcel Proust "We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." ~~Anais Nin "I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls." ~~ Anais Nin ~~~ born February 21, 1903 "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same" ~~Emily Bronte". More about Adriane:""Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." ~~~~~Leonardo da Vinci I'm a fan of sketch comedy.".
