ah, the pain of it all…

soon, a spot of shade…

“O woman!   In our hours of ease, uncertain, coy, and hard to please, and variable as the shade, by the light quivering aspen made; when pain and anguish wring the brow, a ministering angel thou” Sir Walter Scott

Forms of solitude..

“In a soulmate we find not company, but a completed solitude.” Robert Brault

open the window!

in privacy’s trust

we assess our loneliness

look forward, not back

Leaving on a jet plane…

“And I realized that there’s a big difference between deciding to leave and knowing where to go.”

                   Robyn Schneider, The Beginning of Everything

Attraction…

“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.” Andy Warhol  (Must have been drugs?)

Your Joy…

“You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.

My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances.”

John Krakauer, Into the Wild
