Chasing Rhapsodies
“When darkness is at its darkest, a star shines the brightest… The glittering host of heaven shining only for my heart, a pale-twinkling star.”

“I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it anywhere I go you go, my dear
And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling.
I fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world, for beautiful you are my world, my true
And it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant.
And whatever a sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life
Which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart… I carry it in my heart.” —E.E. Cummings

A Soul Mate...
…Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
…Soulmates tend to find each other during their respective pursuits of their soul missions. Creating a soulmate could be seen as a spiritual reward that we give ourselves, after pursuing many soul contracts rife with discord.
…A soulmate is an ongoing connection with another individual that the soul picks up again in various times and places over lifetimes. We are attracted to another person at a soul level not because that person is our unique complement, but because by being with that individual, we are somehow provided with an impetus to become whole ourselves.
…The soul mate is what we aspire to and like to understand about us, is what we deem to be perfection, purity and endless regarding our own being.
…On the path to love, impossibilities are resolved by turning non-love into love. With spiritual growth comes new creative potential, leading to the realization that you are pure potential, able to fill any creative impulse. Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish. Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

I do not give up
I never give up
For there is nothing
In this entire world
That is irrevocably unchangeable.
O my aspiration-heart,
Where are you?
Have you forgotten
God’s own transcendental Motto:
Never give up!
Therefore, never give up on me
Never give up on yourself
And specially
Never give up on my stupid mind
For it needs God-illumination
With your and my help.

The bitterest tears shed over…
Eyes are weeping tears of blood
For the pain that I’ve caused you
And it’s crying out
My apologies to your heart
Pleading for your forgiveness
For my unfortunate outbursts
I never meant in a million years
To be so unkind
So lonely, so guilty
So bad, so uneasy
Feeling really miserable
I am so sorry…
“Life is mostly froth and bubble
Two things stand like stone
Kindness in another’s trouble
Courage in your own.” —Adam Lindsay Gordon

Peachy-Lime Greens
Waking up to your “I love you”
Sends my heart and soul high a soaring
Profoundly enhancing
My depth of mind
Bringing these inexplicable passions to flame
Visions of peach roses and lime green vases
Our love came deep and swift
So special to have these feelings that bind
A perfect pair, we are
Exasperating overflow of mixed emotions
Love for you will never delay
Never will your heart tear
Secure and safe, your hand in mine
I’ll never let go, not even for a day
You are what I never knew, I always wanted.
“
When the heart is hard and parched up
Come upon me with a shower of mercy.
When grace is lost from life
Come with a burst of song.
When tumultuous work raises its dim on all sides
Shutting me out from beyond
Come to me my lord of silence
With thy peace and rest.
When my beggarly heart sits crouched
Shut up in a corner
Break open the door
My king, and come with the ceremony of a king.
When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust
O thou holy one
Thou wakeful
Come with thy light and thy thunder.
Smiling At Life!
On the first day God created the dog. God said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years.” The dog said, “That’s too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten.” So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, “Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.” The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don’t think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that’s what I’ll do too, okay?” And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. “You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years.” The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I’ll give back the other forty.” And God agreed again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I’ll give you twenty years.” Man said, “What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I’ll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God, “You’ve got a deal.”
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves. The next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. The next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren, and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone!
Life has now been explained to you.

The Best Life Quotes, Sayings, and Phrases
“Life is a building. It rises slowly, day by day, through the years. Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us. Every experience, every touch of another life on ours, every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have, every act of our commonest days adds to the invisible building.”
—J. R. Miller
“We cannot live, except thus mutually
We alternate, aware or unaware
The reflex act of life: And when we bear
Our virtue onward most impulsively
Most full of invocation, and to be
Most instantly compellant, certes, there
We live most life, whoever breathes most air
And counts his dying years by sun and sea.
But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth
Throw out her full force on another soul,
The conscience and the concentration both make
Mere life, Love. For Life in perfect whole
And aim consummated, is Love in sooth
As nature’s magnet-heat rounds pole with pole.” —Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Love
