Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood

[ReDBaByBuRn]

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

[Guest Riveria]

Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minutes, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to k*ll. - Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things

From the song that Mistress Owens sang to Nobody Owens:

 

“Kiss a lover

Dance a measure,

Find your name

And buried treasure…”

“Face your life

Its pain, its pleasure,

Leave no path untaken”

[erato]

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.

If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.

Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe

in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless,

it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

 

To love is to be vulnerable.

 

~C.S. Lewis

 

 

 

 

 

Here's one of my favorite verses of a poem, one that's been on my wall since I can't even remember.

 

 

I wake to sleep

and take my waking slow

I feel my fate

in what I cannot fear

I learn by going

where I have to go.

 

~Theodore Roethke in The Waking
