Feed Me
I surrender to another because I want to be taken to that place where reason and thought disappears, where the world folds up flat and spins away into its own corner and there's nothing left but what I'm feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
Feed Your Body
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Feed Your Heart
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is great love, there are always great miracles.
~Mother Teresa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.
~Henry James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feed Your Mind
The quieter you become the more you can hear.
~Baba Ram Dass~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Henry David Thoreau~ -
Feed Your Soul
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity..
~Pema Chodron~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy has no cost.
~Marianne Williamson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
~Robert Louis Stevenson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Desire & Intent
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Friendship
In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Love
‘A’Ole E ‘Olelo mai Ana Ke Ahi Ua Ana Ia.
Translation: The fire of Love will burn as long as it has something to feed on.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.
~John O'Donohue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

scripted
If the script repeat over time and never deviates, is it possible it’s not a script? It’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it? In this case, I think it’s genuine.
feed yourself
…..when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering; what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a … Continue reading

If and when I am disrespected, I chose to not speak a word nor respond to the disrespectful person – matters not if blood related, friend or foe. I have no desire to associate with anyone who has issues or … Continue reading
on jealously
It’s relatively easy to say “I’m not jealous” towards someone we consider “lesser” than ourselves. Or, when we consider them the lesser of two or three evils. Thank goodness it’s “her”, or “them” instead of another, right? We create non-equality … Continue reading
emotional masochism
Some quick thoughts this morning: While I can understand emotional masochism as a form of “play” in the context of a “scene”; I cannot understand it as a constant 24/7 dynamic. While it’s true that there are many who love … Continue reading
And when it’s over
how many time does one hear the hurtful words of denial of a relationship over many years, how little they mean to another, how they are an embarrassment to them, how ugly they are to look at; before the heart … Continue reading

With my Anam Cara settling in Denver, we have been spending more and more time together. Sometimes here at my house, but most often at his. Not too much time tho. Works out to be about 3-4 times a month, … Continue reading
Being quiet
Needed to escape. Too much chaos here for all of us. So I loaded the car and drove to Texas to see my folks before they took off for Italy. It was a great drive there and back. Two days … Continue reading
Second
As I sit and reflect over the events the past few days, I am challenging myself to let go of the hurt associated with Muse’s actions towards me and my subsequent actions towards him. Yes, part of that anger/hurt stems … Continue reading
Even when he’s not here
he’s here. My Anam Cara is in the Bay area for a few days. He is gracious enough to leave the door open, a light on and a spare key in the drawer for my use until he returns. It’s … Continue reading
all colors of lies
A lie, no matter the color of the lie, is never told to protect us. People lie to protect themselves and avoid perceived conflicts associated with truth telling. Lies protect the liar…
