Eternity in an hour...

Eternity, originally uploaded by soulsister

To see a world
in a grain of sand and
a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm
of your hand and
eternity in an hour.

(William Blake - Auguries of Innocence)

Sacrifices are the sweetest delight...

Two Souls, posted by laurens28

"When two souls, which have sought each other
for however long in the throng,
have finally found each other,
when they have seen that they are matched,
are in sympathy and compatible,
in a word, that they are alike,
there is then established for ever between them a union,
fiery and pure as they themselves are,
a union which begins on earth and continues for ever in heaven.
This union is love, true love,
such as in truth very few men can conceive of,
that love which is a religion,
which deifies the loved one,
whose life comes from devotion and passion,
and for which the greatest sacrifices are the sweetest delights."

- Victor Hugo (to Adele Foucher)

Because i like the view...

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here
But all i want is to be over there
Why did i let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now i have to pretend
That i don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
My dream when i'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star that's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That i confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore i knew the melody
That i heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like i could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song

Now i know you're not a fairytale
And dreams are meant for sleeping
And wishes on the star
Just don't come true
Cause now even i can tell
That i confused my feelings with the truth
Because i liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that i could be so blind
It's like you were floating
When i was falling
And i didn't mind
Because i like the view
Oooh hoo hoo
I thought you felt it too
When there was me and you


When there was me and you
Vanessa Hudgens/Gabriella

The Opened Door...

Puerta Abierta, originally uploaded by Bachmont

When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see which one has been opened for us.

Get up and be Happy...

Good Morning Everyone, originally uploaded by Mike_ tn

To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy...
is to set our own conditions to the events of each day.
To do this is to condition circumstances
instead of being conditioned by them.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hope is...

A Sign from God, originally uploaded by Tijs Van Bragt

Hope is

the thing
with feathers
that perches
in the soul
and sings the
tune without
words
and never stops
at all.

~Emily Dickinson~

Walk to the edge.
Listen hard.
Laugh.
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon.

A Rose to make it sweet...

Roses in bloom, originally uploaded by Mitchcraft

No garden is ever really complete
without a rose to make it sweet,
No life is ever full or fair
without someone to share and care!

There is no garden so complete
but roses could make the place more sweet.
There is no life so rich and rare
but one more friend can enter there.
