The question is not weather or not love will find you. It will. In fact, love will find you in the oddest of places, in the strangest of circumstances. Rather the question is, when it does, will you be open enough to see and receive it? The choice is always yours.
• Love is like infinity;
You can’t have more or less infinity
and you can’t compare two things
to see if they’re “equally infinite.”
Infinity just is,
and that’s the way I think love is too.”
Understand: you should be radiating
confidence, not arrogance or distain.
Never make this mistake of thinking
that you elevate yourself
by humiliating people.
”It was a quiet love, a tacit love.
It came without prelude or preamble, we never said the word love, we never had to. It was in our laughter, in the sense of wonder we found in each other. And if we had doubts, than time has told us otherwise.”
“The stars know everything
So we try to read their minds
As distant as they are
We choose to whisper in their presence.”

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”
- Henry David Thoreau
“We’re practical and sensible but we’re also dreamers. Don’t forget that part of you. There’s nothing wrong with being sensible, but dreams are what makes you fly. And you’re destined to touch the sky.”
~ S. H. Kolee
“ the truly intelligent person keeps his childhood alive until his last breath. She never looses the wonder that the child feels, when looking at the birds, looking at the flowers, looking at the sky.”

• Re-examine all your cherished beliefs and principles. Apply nothing rigidly. Absorb the spirit of the times.
Change may be alarming, but it it also refreshing - even exhilarating.
“Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, people change. But the train keeps moving ... Life is the train, not the station.
“Everyone says love hurts, but it’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confesses these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing that covers all the pain and still makes us feel wonderful.”
~ Oscar Wilde
“We stand on the threshold of a twilight weather morning or evening we do not know. One is followed by the night the other Harold’s the dawn.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
“The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.”
~ Jean-Pierre de Caussade
“It is the subtle things in life that you have to look for because the deepest love speaks at a whisper that only two people can hear.”
~ Shannon L. Alder
You too can hear
Hidden underneath, the veneer
of the words pain
a song that barely makes a sound
That’s love lyrics
softly whispering
inviting you to savour
this very moment
calling your heart back to peace.
“Time passes, that’s the rule
No matter what happens
No matter how much it might feel like everything in your life might be frozen around one particular moment. Time marches on.”
