“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
“Sleeping Atlantis
Silent cool waters
dancing upon her skin ~
silent cool water
ushering dreams within…”
― Muse, Enigmatic Evolution
“Sometimes now was enough.
Sometimes it was everything.”
— Mary Balogh, Simply Perfect
“We hear the beating of wings over Bethlehem and a light that is not of the sun or of the stars shines in the midnight sky. Let the beauty of the story take away all narrowness, all thought of formal creeds. Let it be remembered as a story that has happened again and again, to men of many different races, that has been expressed through many religions, that has been called by many different names. Time and space and language lay no limitations upon human brotherhood.” — New York Times, 1937 December 25th
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
Norman Vincent Peale ❄
The flowers that sleep by night, opened their gentle eyes and turned them to the day.
The light, creation’s mind, was everywhere, and all things owned its power.
Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop
Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away, The earth goes down into a vale of grief, And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay — Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses. — Charles Kingsley, Saint’s Tragedy
“One loses time seeking for words;
one kiss brings understanding.”
“Perdi tempoando le parole,
bacia e sarai capito cerc.”
