I'm always in love....

I do take very good care of myself, and I'm always in love. And by that I mean I have an appetite for life. I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things I think, on the inside, show on the outside. 
~ Gloria Vanderbilt

When the soul lies down.....

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.” 

― Rumi.

So close...yet far...

There’s something about sitting alone in the dark that reminds you how big the world really is, and how far apart we all are. The stars look like they’re so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can’t. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they are.

~ Kami Garcia, Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles, #2)

If you ever ask me...

If you ever ask me how many times you’ve crossed my mind, I would say once. Because you came, and never left.

~ Ritu Ghatourey

Who and what we are..

It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are. 

~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

True stories....

She kept asking me if the stories were true. I kept asking her if it mattered. We finally gave up. She was looking for a place to stand and I wanted a place to fly.
