| Bio: | My favorite cartoon ever!    ******************** You can search by my yahoo email address for my amazon.ca wish list here, if you so desire. No pressure, honest! ******************** “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill ********************* This yarn is fresh like a gentle breeze. Please have a useful knitting time. -- (posted by ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} johnnystilleto in the knitting community)********************* "By fearing the worst, you mentally prepare for it, and thereby set up your life for all action that might need to be taken. If one is at all intuitive, you then are living your life, not fearfully, but prepratorially." -- ann1962********************* I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be. ********************* Sometimes I just can't understand why there is no escape from me. -- graffitiandsara******************** Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight ********************* So I'm sailing for tomorrow My dreams are a'dying And my love is an anchor tied to you Tied with a silver chain I have my ship And all her flags are a'flying She is all that I have left And music is her name. ****** So we cheated and we lied And we tested And we never failed to fail It was the easiest thing to do Southern Cross -- Crosby, Stills and Nash ******************** Now take my hand and hold it tight. I will not fail you here tonight, For failing you, I fail myself And place my soul upon a shelf In Hell's library without light. I will not fail you here tonight. - The Book of Counted Sorrows ******************** After A While After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all of your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers, and you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth, and you learn with every goodbye, you learn. -- Veronica A. Shoffstall ******************** (from singedcat)This is the work of those who are skilled and peaceful, who seek the good: May they be able and upright, straightforward, of gentle speech and not proud. May they be content and easily supported, unburdened, with their senses calmed. May they be wise, not arrogant and without desire for the possessions of thers. May they do nothing mean or that the wise would reprove. May all things be happy. May they live in safety and joy. - Metta Suta ******************** Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths.... I would spead these cloths under your feet; but I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet -- tread softy, for you tread on my dreams. William Butler Yeats ******************** Happiness is beneficial to the body, but it is grief that develops the power of the mind. Proust ******************** What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. Emerson ******************** In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer Camus ******************** If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found the flower in his hand when he awoke -- Aye, and what then? S.T. Coleridge ******************** ....if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. Nietzsche ******************** *HUGS* TOTAL! give ladystarlightsj more *HUGS* Get hugs of your own | |||||||||
