Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.





Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.

Tahereh Mafi

If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled.





If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren�t led by the senses, your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength. Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

Lao Tzu

One day, you will find that pairing soul. It will be a feeling beyond your imagination.





One day, you will find that pairing soul. It will be a feeling beyond your imagination. You just can�t help it but to adore them. You will feel your whole heart melt for this person. This beautiful soul will bring joy, laughter, calmness and so much inspiration, that you will finally see hope in front of you. For once, you can actually say, I�m in love. I can see a future with this person. I

You were an unpleasant memory; now you�re my reminder.





You were an unpleasant memory; now you�re my reminder. You�re my reminder to be more cautious of the people I invest my time in. You�re my reminder to see people for who they are and not for who I want them to be. You�re my reminder to fall in love with how people treat me, not what they tell me. But if by chance I do fall for the wrong person again, you are my reminder that I can survive

In your lifetime you will find and meet one person who will love you...





In your lifetime you will find and meet one person who will love you more than anybody you have ever known and will know. They will love you with every bit of energy and soul. They will sacrifice, surrender and give so much that it scares you. Someday you�ll know who that is. Sometimes people realize who it was.

Life doesn't always introduce you to the people you want to meet.





Life doesn't always introduce you to the people you want to meet. Sometimes, life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet to help you, to hurt you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.

Stop mentally abusing yourself.





Pause and remember� Stop mentally abusing yourself. Stop agonizing over your past mistakes and worrying about the future. Life is hard enough without the added fear, panic and anxiety. Your soul is crying out for love and encouragement. Take a moment to breathe deep, get present and find some compassion for yourself. Then, go out and treat yourself right; pamper yourself and take care of your

Bitter people... God loves them & so should we.





Bitter people... God loves them & so should we. Pray for them. They'll find something negative to say about anything positive. They can't be happy for you because they're disgusted with themselves. Don't become bitter with them, become better & pray for their growth & maturity.

TonyGaskins

It�s just too late. She doesn�t need you anymore





It�s just too late.

She doesn�t need you anymore and she no longer misses you. And it�s all because you never made her a priority. You took for granted that she would always be there, waiting for you to serve her the scraps of your time. It�s funny, because as she waited for you to realize what you had�she finally realized she didn�t need what you were offering.

Summer's Final Bow



My town has the most charming ice cream shop.  It's painted in sherbet colors and has a rick-rack of gingerbread trim.  I don't indulge every day but enough to know the owners who winter in Florida each year.  But our conversations are all too brief during the height of summer when a line snakes out past their picnic tables into a grove of trees.  Still, the ice cream is rich and wonderful and worth the wait.

Have you noticed how some things are most beautiful just before they disappear?  Falling stars, brides who depart for exciting new lives, flowers, and of course, tender seasons that cannot last.  Right now I am enjoying summer's swan song - the air is warm and balmy and the sun is throwing stirring shadows and light;  total eclipses notwithstanding. 

Knowing that summer must soon end, I find myself holding on to it for dear life.  I love the plump native tomatoes in overflowing bins at the market.  As my mother taught me, I eat them like apples as I sit on the front stoop watching juices flow down my arm.  It's ok because the garden hose is still unraveled in the side yard just as it always is until September - I'm a lazy hose-mistress to be sure.  Every Friday, I buy a farm-style bouquet filled with sunflowers and violet asters along with spikes of golden rod and dried beach fronds.  My rustic bouquets don't last as long as the prim blush roses I bought in early summer, but the colors are as warm and bright as October sunshine.

As well, I am getting the most from my liberating wardrobe.  Making sure each morning I select knee-skimming skirts with sleeveless tops or pretty dresses with billowing potential should I still find myself still wearing it when I fetch the recycling bin at the bottom of the driveway every Wednesday night.

As for perfume, I can't stop spritzing my eau fraiche blend that I keep cool in the refrigerator.  It's light and airy and not yet too weak for summer's final bow.  My coral lipsticks, a watercolor silk scarf, and other accouterments still call out to me.  I won't rush the goodbye because the hello takes so long.  

I'm sure I will surrender when summer turns back just long enough to take a final bow.  By then, I'll be longing to light some candles against a dark sky and chilly wind.  And it will seem odd to see the dried leaves flitting and falling on my garden hose.  I'll put that to bed along with the rattan furniture and the clay pots that are holding my spectacular geraniums and begonias which have never looked more gorgeous as they do right now in their vivid hues of reds and pink.  They seem to bloom over and over and over, like the last dazzling firework on July 4th.  

I'll miss the crickets and frogs which lull me to sleep and the dove that coos from a distance late in the morning.  I'll miss the cold gazpacho I finally mastered and the watermelon and corn.  But summer will really be over when the little pastel ice cream shop finally shutters its windows and closes its doors.  They'll put out the scratchy homemade sign that reminds us they will be back next summer.  And each year...I try to believe them.

The sexiest woman is not the one with a curvaceous figure or a voluptuous personality.





The sexiest woman is not the one with a curvaceous figure or a voluptuous personality. A woman is not sexy because she can do a beautiful catwalk on the ramp. A woman is sexy because she stands tall despite the mess in her life. The sexiest woman is the one who has a broken heart, a wounded soul and a sad past but still carries herself with grace and dignity. The sexiness of a woman lies in

My favourite kind of friendship

You were my first love and I was so madly in love with you that I would have gone to the ends of the earth for you� You gave me feelings I had never felt before� but then you broke my heart and crushed it.

HERE�S THE THING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS.





HERE�S THE THING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH GOOD HEARTS.
They give you excuses when you don�t explain yourself. They accept apologies you don�t give. They see the best in you when you don�t need them to. At your worst, they lift you up, even if it means putting their priorities aside. The word �busy� does not exist in their dictionary. They make time, even when you don�t. And you wonder why they�re

When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear.





When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That�s why you can�t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that�s

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask...





Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, �Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test?� �Then a voice comes to me out of the dark and says, �We hate to tell you this but life is a thousand word essay.

There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt







There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you�re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.

Beau Taplin

Accepting people just the way they are





When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You appreciate it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn�t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And

I want you. I want your flaws. All of them.





I want you. I want your sleepy confused look when you wake up. I want to be the warmth that fills the space in your bed. I want to be the sheets your fingers crave at night; the blanket that wraps around you all night. I want to drink tea with you, share some records we find. I want to talk about everything in the world newspapers. I want to discuss with you, to be stubborn and quick-witted

You are my favorite everything.





I am very indecisive and always have trouble picking my favorite anything. But, without a doubt, you are my favorite everything.

Love is not about how many days, weeks or months you�ve been together

We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones.







We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven�t done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After

It�s terrifying how quickly we can find homes in the hearts of others.





It�s terrifying how quickly we can find homes in the hearts of others. And equally as terrifying how quickly we become homeless when their hearts no longer have room for us.

I have loved. I have lost and I have changed.





I have loved. I have lost and I have changed. It has been difficult but I have learned so much from it. I have learned that people can hurt you so deeply and not even worry about you.

No one is going to love you exactly like you imagine.





No one is going to love you exactly like you imagine. No one is ever going to read your mind and take every star from the sky at the perfect time and hand it to you.

That�s why you have to love yourself enough, so that any other love just adds more candles to the cake you�ve already iced.

A man that truly loves a woman is more concerned with spending time than spending money.





A man that truly loves a woman is more concerned with spending time than spending money. Is her leader, not dictator. Does not cheat because he knows he'd be cheating himself. Gives her freedom, not captivity. Encourages her dreams while chasing his. Shows her off to the world because her light in his life is so bright he can't hide it. I think a lot of us have a misunderstanding about what a

You can't force loyalty or love







It's nothing wrong with wishing the best for somebody, but you have to realize when keeping them close isn't best for you. Unrealistic expectations attract disappointment.

Everybody won't always be who you want

So once you have it, don't ever let it go. The

The kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person; the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else ever has. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world because they are so proud of you. And

Paradise



"I can't stop thinking about Hawaii", I told my son-in-law a month ago.  "Oh you'll be thinking about it a lot more when you come back", he warned...

I've been missing a special place that I recently visited.  For more than two weeks I have been in Hawaii.  I never thought I would have the chance to visit this part of the world and yet, I never thought I would love it so much either.  Hawaii is very beautiful with a lovely aesthetic that is partially ancient lore and partially post-war beauty.  And unlike New England's crisp nautical sun, Hawaii's light is far-reaching and golden.

The picture above is one that I took on the Ke'anae Peninsula on the Road to Hana.  I almost wept at the breathtaking beauty and felt a deep connection to the inlet which I later read was the site of a devastating tsunami in 1946.  I sensed it was hallowed and snapped quite a number of pictures like this one with my cell phone.  There was an old church left standing and like all churches in Hawaii, the doors were wide open to anybody that happened to pass by.

In addition to the famous Road to Hana, we visited the Black Sand Beach where black-as-night lava rocks cover the shore.  We toured the volcanoes on The Big Island, careful not to take anything that wasn't ours so as not to anger Pele, the mythical Goddess of Volcanoes.  We ate fish and passion fruit, wore flowers in our hair, and shopped in small boutiques in Maui's Up Country.  And every afternoon, we raced to the shore to sit huddled in matching weathered chairs to let the Trade Winds wash over us and blow our cares out to sea.

My companions were my daughter and my son-in-law and the only mar on our adventure were the three days my daughter was ill.  On the plane to The Big Island, my only child became sick with a high fever and chills.  She also had an extreme headache that frightened me.  Upon landing, we took her to the hospital were she was admitted.  For three days, we sat by her side as fluids and antibiotics were drained into her.  And although the environs surrounding the hospital were gorgeous, the landscape lost its sparkle.  Thankfully, before too long, we were back to our vacation and all the gifts the islands had to offer.

Now I am home with a volcanic suitcase on the living room floor exploding with clothes to be washed, presents to distribute, and plenty of keepsakes, including the journal I kept on our trip.  I am missing paradise and reliving all the wonderful things we experienced and as my son-in-law predicted, I am thinking about Hawaii alot.   Of course, as I reminisce, my thoughts also race back to those three days I was frantic with worry for my daughter - those recollections are woven into the tapestry of my journey too.  When the memories come, I lean in and let them wash over me just as the winds did on the edge of Hawaii's magnificent shores.  And it is then that I realize...True Paradise is when loved ones are healthy...

PS:  If you have ever visited the magical isles of Hawaii, I would love to hear about it.

She's not perfect�you aren't either





You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect�you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about

He�s not perfect. You aren�t either..






He�s not perfect. You aren�t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn�t going to quote poetry, he�s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don�t

One of the best feelings in the world





One of the best feelings in the world is when you hug someone you love, and they hug you back even tighter.

One of the best feelings is knowing that you�re wanted.









One of the best feelings is knowing that you�re wanted. Knowing that someone wants to talk to you, wants to know how you�re doing, or wants to see you. Whether they pick up the phone to send you a quick text or stop by your house to catch up, someone or something reminded them of you specifically. It just feels really nice to know that you�ve been on someone�s mind and that they care

No relationship is perfect.






There's no perfect relationship. It's how you accept the imperfections that makes it perfect.

No relationship is perfect.

No relationship is perfect. As much as you would want it to be perfect, it will never be perfect. It's always good before it gets bad, it's always easy before it gets hard, and it always feels perfect before it gets real. You'll always see the best in each other before

You are the only one who touched my heart beautifully and healed my soul.





I Love You.

You are the only one who touched my heart beautifully and healed my soul. I feel at home in the embrace of your arms. Your delicate touches, your tender caresses and your passionate kisses take my breath away and leave my soul in a beautiful never-ending trance. My love, now I have nowhere to go� I am lost in your quintessential existence. You are my soul mate and my eternal

If you're looking for perfection then I�m not the one for you.





If you're looking for perfection then I�m not the one for you. If you�re looking for honesty, loyalty and a whole bunch of crazy then that�s all me.

Always be yourself. Never try to hide who you are.





Always be yourself. Never try to hide who you are. The only shame is to have shame. Always stand up for what you believe in. Always question what other people tell you. Never regret the past, it�s a waste of time. There�s a reason for everything. Every mistake, every moment of weakness, every terrible thing that has happened to you. Grow from it. The only way you can ever get the respect of

Love leaves a memory that no one can steal..








Love leaves a memory that no one can steal, but sometimes it leaves a heartache that no one can heal.

Pain can change you.





Pain can change you, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom.

When someone loves you..




When someone loves you, they don't have to say it. You can tell by the way they treat you.

We cannot beg someone to stay with us forever..





We cannot beg someone to stay with us forever, we have to accept that, love does not give us the license to own a person.

This is what�s important.





And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, �This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!� And each day, it�s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, �No. This is what�s important.�
