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~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glad we both made it unscathed-relatively speaking. Tomorrow is my oldest sons 35th birthday so I went to Denver today to spend some time with him, my Darling DIL and the Grandbabies. Good day. Lots of Grandma’s treat Ice Cream. … Continue reading
First
I’ve decided I’m not objective enough or supportive enough. My own filters and experiences are seriously getting in the way especially the past two weeks. Still not feeling very gracious towards him. Even tho I’ve voiced this to her, and … Continue reading
2nd law of thermodynamics applied
entropy (or decay) represents the amount of energy input to the system which does not participate in work done by the system. It’s easy to be selfish. [Left alone, all things move towards entropy] It’s harder to be selfless. [The … Continue reading

Nothing has changed here. Nothing. As far as I can see, it’s become worse for all those involved. And for him? He had a major hand in unmaking the bed. This time I am not making it for him. I … Continue reading
what I did on my summer vacation
is the answer to your question about my personal growth: The catalyst was you laying a belt on my ass about a year ago with perfect precision to change my perception of reality. And although you didn’t like the re-action … Continue reading
searching
Searching for Grace today; Grace to accept I tried to lay blame for my own choices to accommodate another when it didn’t work as planned; as I expected and wanted. Grace to accept I acted out of a selfish need … Continue reading
the thorn
It poked at you that day, didn’t it? A thorn working slowly into your flesh. Watching Me. Bound. Helpless. Yielding. Vulnerable. Fuel for my nature. It churned in your mind. Insidiously consumed you, shed the veil of pretense. Fuel for … Continue reading
distractions
I have kept myself busy the past few days in an effort to distract my mind from wandering into to the darkness of anger and blame. Music plays on the computer from the time I get up until after I … Continue reading
in a blink
There have been too many, too many times I questioned myself, my love, my heart. Believing words I was wrong, when it’s not what I felt in my heart, or what I felt in yours. I cannot. I will not … Continue reading
GO NOW….Read and enjoy or
I already have my copy so what are YOU waiting for? *smile* One of my dearest friends in the world (I’ve mentioned Gene more than a few times here over the years), just completed his (long overdue) book, Thought … Continue reading
Writing for ourselves
Or do we cease to when we are involved with another? Does our writing subtly morph into another method of communication? Hoping in our heart of hearts they “see”? us so we don’t have to take the risk of speaking … Continue reading
Shame
Is that what you wanted? For me to feel shame when I confessed my sin? Me, so proud of what I learned. You, annoyed to hear the word. It *was* fine that evening, playing with her. Sweet, in fact. I … Continue reading
His Take on My Scars
I process through Muse more often than not. He rarely pulls punches and rarely sugar coats. It’s something we always do for each other. There is no judgment. So…..in typical Rosa fashion, I sent him my two posts. Here is … Continue reading
not "me"
It felt good to talk in the manner of pure friendship again….It’s something I remarked last week that I thought we had lost for good. And although he insisted we haven’t….only that the pieces of living together had fallen on … Continue reading
