“The greatest things in life are unseen that's why we close our eyes to... kiss and dream.” - Author Unknown

WITH WARMED HEART
with warmed heart greet the new day ...
with warmed heart wear a fresh smile ...
with warmed heart imagine what you would
like to do and are able to today ...
with warmed heart leave your solitude
and enjoy some time where you would like to be ...
with warmed heart imagine being there
with someone you might desire ...
with warmed heart and wearing your new smile,
say hello to every face that might interest you ...
with warmed heart find some simple way to treat
yourself in public ... and later in private ...
and, as you drift into sleep ...
with warmed heart promise yourself
to do it again ...
that's how dreams come true ...

TAKE EASE
take ease my beautiful friend,
rest as you will and take your ease ...
and I shall sit with you in quiet contemplation
an arm around you, fingers to lightly brush your hair
or wipe away a tear ...
take ease my beautiful friend,
and let any pain of it flow from your mind and your body
breathe of air perfumed with my love and my peace
breathe clear and let your thoughts drift
until they find places to rest ...
take ease my beautiful friend,
and allow your heart to open and heal
breathe deeply and gently of tranquil friendship and care
let your wounds heal and let your doubts fall aside
until nothing remains but your dream ...

From “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
Let the winds of the heavens dance between you,
Love one another, but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls
And stand together yet not too near together,
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.


SELF LOVE by John Donne (1572-1631) English metaphysical poet
He that cannot choose but love,
And strives against it still,
Never shall my fancy move,
For he loves ‘gainst his will;
Nor he which is all his own,
And can at pleasure choose,
When I am caught he can be gone,
And when he list refuse.
Nor he that loves none but fair,
For such by all are sought;
Nor he that can for foul ones care,
For his judgment then is nought;
Nor he that hath wit, for he
Will make me his jest or slave’
Nor a fool, for when others…,
He can neither….:
Nor he that still his Mistress pays,
For she is thrilled therefore;
Nor he that pays not, for he says
Within She’s worth no more.
Is there then no kind of men
Whom I may freely prove?
I will vent that humour then
In mine own self-love.


"I own a pitbull that I had rescued from a local shelter. His name is Angus...he is black and sweet, though, since we have owned him, we have had such a hard time of things. Finding a home is one thing. No-one wants to rent to anyone owning a pitbull claiming they can't get insurance to cover for the dog or they don't want the dog there because he is considered vicious. Our loving dogs can't speak for themselves to tell us how much they just want to be accepted and loved and wouldn't harm a flea. We need to be a loud voice for our loved ones, our pets. I would rather live on the streets with my boy, then be in a home without him.”  —Rhonda Paul

BRIGHT STAR  (This verse was found on a separate page between a collection of Shakespeare’s Poems)

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art-
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors-
No– yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever-or else swoon to death.



"If you love something... set it free.
If it returns... you never lost it.
If it disappears and never comes back.
It was never yours to begin with."
- Author Unknown

"The real marriage of true minds is for any two people to possess a sense of humour or irony pitched in exactly the same key."
- Edith Wharton

“We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just leave it in the cupboard and think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it, to really look after it and nurture it."

- John Lennon


"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." - Henry Drummond
