A handsome, talented and creative man sent this to me October 3rd. He said my photography inspired him...
When we two first met my heart rang out in music,
"She who is eternally afar is beside you forever."
That music is silent, because I have grown to believe that my love is only near,
and have forgotten that she is also far, far away.
Music fills the infinite between two souls.
This has been muffled by the mist of our daily habits.
On shy summer nights,
when the breeze brings a vast murmur
out of the silence,
I sit up in my bed and mourn the great loss
of her who is beside me, I ask myself,
"When shall I have another chance to whisper
her words with the rhythm of eternity in them?"
Wake up, my song, from thy langour,
rend the screen of the familiar,
and fly to my beloved there,
in the endless surprise of our first meeting... by Rabundranath Tagore

"We all dance for different reasons. Some feel empowered when they dance. This comes in many forms. The ancient sisters dance through us- if we are open to it -and through them we see the state of the world. Through them, we are given tools to to ground ourselves and through them, we find the support that surrounds our bodies in times of exhaustion. Like giving birth, preparation is the key and lends itself to breathing, stretching and trust. As long as we reach for the heavens and stay grounded in humility we will be filled with the source."

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied..."The one I feed."

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. " - Arundhati Roy
