“Time doesn’t really ‘march on’. It tends to tip-toe. There’s no parade. No stomping of boots to alert you to its passing. One day, you turn around and it is gone.” Heather Babcock

delights in life…

“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” Kahlil Gibran

fanciful indeed…

“The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.” Iranian proverb

smile & love…

taking chances…

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe…It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

ah, the pain of it all…

Forever…

“There are memories that time does not erase… Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.” Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire
