FEELING SAFE



"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, 
but pouring them all right out,
just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will  take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping,
and with the breath of kindness 
blow the rest away"
Mulock, Dinah

PANDORA RELEASING HOPE


But I have found that in the simple act

of living with hope,

and in the daily effort to have a positive

impact in the world,

the days I do have are made all the more

meaningful and precious.

And for that I am grateful.

Elizabeth Edwards

BE YOURSELF

''The beginning of love is to 
let those we love be perfectly 
themselves, and not to twist 
them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only the 
reflection of ourselves we 
find in them''

Thomas Merton(1915-1968)

LOVE IS NOW

''Love is spontaneous and 
craves expression
through joy, through beauty, 
through truth,
even through tears. 
Love lives the moment;
it is neither lost in yesterday 
nor does it crave for tomorrow. 
Love is NOW!

Leo Buscaglia

WITH OPEN ARMS


''...Love is always open arms.
With arms open you allow 
love to come and go as it wills, 
freely,for it will do so anyway. 
If you close your arms about love
you will find you are left only
holding yourself.''

Leo Buscglia

ALWAYS LOVE


Love is patient, love is kind. 
It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud. 
It is not rude,it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 
It always protects, always trusts, 
always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

and safe together, in each other's arms.''
