Touch me deep...

[Nirvanadragones]

All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you for a long time. Once it is here, don't move away. Rest. See what happens next.

- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

When My Mind is Still: Paul Beattie

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks --
desires -- nothing but another's good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.

When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

I am constantly, consistantly, cossumantly amazed
that somebody like her
would spend time
with somebody like me.

I can know no pleasure
greater than hers.

Vana's post from the ICU choked me all up.

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

blazing your trails,
too high, too far, too soon.
You saw the whole of the moon!"

[Nirvanadragones]

I always want you near, mummy.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

I always want you near, mummy.

Smart kid.

 

[Alessia Brio]

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect. Not to see you when you stand before me. Not to think of you in the little things. Not to make the road wide for you, the table spread for you. To choose you out of habit not desire, to pass the flower seller without a thought. To leave the dishes unwashed, the bed unmade, to ignore you in the mornings, make use of you at night. To crave another while pecking your cheek. To say your name without hearing it, to assume it is mine to call."

 

[damppanties]

He had always believed, after all, that happiness was simply a matter of choice. You could either wallow in regret, even drown in it, or you could choose not to. But he had underestimated the power of habit. Because once you'd started wallowing, pretty soon that's all you were fit for. You grew fins and webbed feet so you could wallow even better. Hell, maybe you even got to enjoy it a little. And then when you thought that was enough and it was time to haul yourself out and go walking on dry land again, you found you couldn't. You had evolved into some wretched swamp-dwelling creature that had forgotten how to do it.

"When the day shall come, that we do part," he said softly, and turned to look at me, "if my last words are not 'I love you' - ye'll ken it was because I didna have time."

[Nirvanadragones]

People cope with adversity in many different ways, ways that are deeply personal. I think one way people cope is by developing a skewed perception of themselves that allowed them to overcome and do things they thought they couldn't do before

" Mum, you know when someone touches you and you feel stars . . . ?"

 

[Just-Legal]

" Mum, you know when someone touches you and you feel stars . . . ?"

Vana, what are you doing up this early?

"My body aches, my brain's about to explode. Then you smile, and for a moment, I don't care."

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Vana, what are you doing up this early?

Finding my woman

Timezones suck . . .

I saw your blurt . . . I've got coffee if you want?

 

[Samandiriel]

Finding my woman

I found you.

That is your purpose in life, my Love

 

[Samandiriel]

That is your purpose in life, my Love

You know me so well baby.

 

[Just-Legal]

Finding my woman

Timezones suck . . .

I saw your blurt . . . I've got coffee if you want?

Coffee is always good. I'm sure the madness in my head will stop when I get myself sorted.

Or the LEA collapses in on itself and PAYS me.

Gah. Now I'm gonna cry again.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

You know me so well baby.

Hey Look! We're in a "touch me" thread!

 

[Samandiriel]

Hey Look! We're in a "touch me" thread!

So what are you waiting for?

 

[Nirvanadragones]

Coffee is always good. I'm sure the madness in my head will stop when I get myself sorted.

Or the LEA collapses in on itself and PAYS me.

Gah. Now I'm gonna cry again.

Here's a hug I'm sure it will all be better for you soon, Sweet. Hang in there, 'k?

 

[Nirvanadragones]

So what are you waiting for?

You to lie with your head in my lap so I can read you something I found for you. And stroke your hair. Kiss you cheek. Make love to you all night long. Sleep entangled with you . . . Wake up next to you. Spend forever with you.
