“To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself, the only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.”
—Gary Zukav (via oceanofmind) (via whisperingwillow)

Shelter
Ray LaMontagne♬ Listen, when all of this around us’ll fall over, I tell you what we’re gonna do: you will shelter me, my love, and I will shelter you. I will shelter you. ♬
“I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
—T.S. Eliot (via rvlvr) (via slightlypretentious) (via iwishyoubirds)

The Sufi tradition contains the idea that each of our souls has come down here from some other place and will, like the Prodigal Son, eventually develop a desire to go back:
“My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I’ll be completely sober.

Thank you Clint, darling, I adore you!
Pamper thyself from time to time
A am tumbling from the chair in the salon waiting on my new color to penetrate the hair shaft. That might be the first time ever I’ve used the words” penetrate” and “shaft” in such an innocuos manner. I hope innocuous is the correct word. You get the idea.
Anyway, a new color and this dear girl is going to fix the buster brown - little dutch boy thing I did to my hair a few weeks ago! After this I am going in search of of a pedi!
I just adore a penthouse view...
but I’m heading back to the country.
I am going to rent a lake house. It’s totally secluded and in the middle of nowhere but I am sitting here in the middle of one of the largest interstate interchanges in the country, surrounded by the masses, completely exposed by height and huge windows and I still feel out of touch.
Not to mention, there is craziness going on here that I don’t dig and nothing works as it should.
(except the internet which they revamped while I was away and now it’s flying! go figure)
anyhow, the view is about to change quite a bit. i hope to journal it here.
