"The spiritual quest is always realized through relationships,
and those are outward and what you are seeking is the relationship that opens up dimensions within yourself that are greater than those that you knew when you started. Jung says somewhere the only way to spiritual fullfillment is through relationships." Joseph Campbell

"Death is not a tragedy. Lust is."

Thom Hartmann's "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight"

"In 'The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind,' Columbia University psychology professor Julian Jaynes puts forth the concept that in prehistoric times (more than 7,000 to 10,000 years ago) people actually heard the voices of the gods. When they looked out into the natural world, they saw fairies, sprites, spirits and other entities. This was because, Jaynes posits, the two hemispheres of the brain were more fully connected, so that the auditory regions of the left hemisphere were directly connected to the hallucinatory regions of the right hemisphere (Wernicke's and Broca's areas) that, in modern people, are normally active only during dreaming or in schizophrenics. Because of this direct connection, Jaynes suggests what we now call hallucinations probably were a common part of the everyday."

Remember that the truest love, is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other."

“The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other” --Epictetus Greek philosopher associated with the Stoics, AD 55-c.135

“The essence of man is, discontent, divine discontent; a sort of love without a beloved, the ache we feel in a member we no longer have.”
Jose Ortega y Gasset quotes (Spanish philosopher and humanist , 1883-1955

“Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.” St. John of the Cross (Christian mystic and poet, 1542-1591

“Escape me? Never - Beloved! While I am I, and you are you, So long as the world contains us both, Me the loving and you the loth, While the one eludes, must the other pursue”
Robert Browning (Major English Poet of the Victorian age, noted for his mastery of dramatic monologue and psychological portraiture. 1812-1889) *Twin Soul is Elizabeth Barret Browning*

“In wise love each defines the secret self of the other, and refusing to believe in the mere daily self, creates a mirror where the lover or the beloved sees an image to copy in daily life; for love also creates the Mask.” William Butler Yeats quotes (Irish prose Writer, Dramatist and Poet. Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. 1865-1939)

"Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you."
By RUMI

"People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate." Simple Twist of Fate by Bob Dylan


The course of true love never did run smooth~Shakespeare

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare

!.i am a wordist, i love words. words are like little faeries, sometimes they bite, sting, wound. sometimes they tickle, kiss, pet.
@. i love fluff, feathers, fuzzies, snugglies, and belly rubs.
#.the best thing that could possibly happen all day is to be tucked in by someone i love.
$. i am a minimalist but am capable of manifesting beauty with as little as possible.
%. the faeries laugh at me.....they hate it when i whine so they laugh and this makes me laugh....they know there's nothing to whine about so they teach me this lesson all the time.
^. One of my most favorite books ever is Frog and Toad together's story about Cookies....if you ask nice...i love to read it people i've tucked in
&. yes, i admit, i still have stuffed animals even though i am not girlie~its hard for a goth rock chick to admit but its true.
*. Pink roses feel like old friends and touch a place in me that is so in love with everyone.
(. i make my bed every morning
).My cat is a reiki master and has been my guru since we found each other.
!).my mother bred cats when i was little and we had 36 kittens at one time. They taught me everything i would ever need to know about snuggle.

“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
