“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

“

The pace of life must slow
and quicken;
it can’t be still,
or just one rate.

In fluctuation there is invigoration:
the spark of tomorrow’s dawn.

Love

Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:05:36 +1000

What is love? The timeless question.

Only understood when felt.

Where is love? A better question?

Seems a destination when it’s found.

Who is love? Is it a person?

Defined in embodiment.

I wonder.

… Why love?

“If we reject constructive criticism, always perceiving it as negative, we deny ourselves opportunities to gain a fresh perspective. To see our work through others eyes is a privilege. Seek it.”

In Flanders Fields

Fri, 25 Apr 2014 09:06:54 +1000

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae (1872–1918)

Gandalf: I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.
Bilbo Baggins: I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!

She wakes into this present darkness.

A terror of the night;

eyes wide open at the dawn.

Awake or sleep?

She hardly knows.

And on it goes.

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

- Romans 5:1-5

On Waste

Sat, 23 Feb 2013 22:43:16 +1100

Wasted feelings, wasted words, wasted health, wasted time, wasted worries, wasted fears, wasted lives.

All a waste!

Time to sleep.

Time to wake.

There’s always time.

There’s never time.

Do you ever pause awhile?

Going here.

Going there.

Moving forward.

Ever onward.

Will you rest before you crash?

Thinking more.

Thinking less.

Thoughts are crazy.

Thoughtless haze.

Have you lost the way of life?

Unbearable? What then is unbearable?
