Fluid...

        I watch her as she leaves. Everything about her is fluid as a river. Her messy hair, her xylophone voice, the strokes of her paintbrush. Even her camouflage army jacket hangs loose, flowing like ribbons.

Slipping away...

Looking out at the ocean, it's easy to feel small - and to imagine all your troubles, suddenly insignificant, slipping away. Earth's seven oceans seem vast and impenetrable, but a closer look tells another story. 
Ted Danson

Red peppers...

We run crazy after things that are like the red peppers, — pretty outside, but hot as fire when we get to playing with them. Our lesson is right hard. But a punishment sin brings with it is remembered longer than a hundred warnings. God doesn’t push us towards hot peppers — He lets us alone, but we are mighty apt to run to Him after we’ve got a fair taste. 
~Marion Harland (Mary Virginia Terhune), Alone, 1857  [A little altered. –tg]

Painful tears...

“The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They're the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.”
 ~UNKNOWN

They broke...

"They broke the wrong parts of me. They broke my wings and forgot I had claws." — Anonymous

Near and far...

He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

It's the way...

You can be covered and be very sexy. It's not what you show; it's what you have in mind, the way you cross your legs, the way you talk to people.

Chogada Taara....

Chogada taara
I’m your lover
Chabila taara
Your beloved
Rangila taara
I’m the color of your life
Rangbheru juye teri vaat re.... Haan..
All the words you speak are full of shades of love

Relax...

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

Secret...

In the bottom of my heart lies a secret which I have never told a soul in the world. There is an image of this person who is dearest to me and closer than anything else. 
Melanie Rock

Some dance to remember...

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget...

-Hotel California.

Make them feel...

 




I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. 
Maya Angelou
