Love looks not with the
eyes, but with the mind
And therefore is winged
Cupid painted blind
Love looks not with the

Nothing So Strange
Once in a while,
right in the middle of an ordinary life,
love gives us a fairy tale
meeting, the kind where you know instantly
that you have found the one person for you.
It feels like destiny, and it was.
Without a word spoken between us,
we knew everything we needed to know and more.
The two of us were enough.
We were more than enough.
We were everything in this world that mattered.

A Note on Falling in Love
Falling in love is like jumping off
a really tall building.
Your brain tells you it’s
not a good idea,
but your heart tells you,
you can fly.

This is Your Life
Love — a wildly
misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens
the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and
the lips to pucker
Love is the desire to be
desired, the yearning to be yearned for and the longing to long
Love is a temporary
insanity curable only by marriage or death
Love is physical pain
accompanied by spiritual exhilaration
Love is excitement that has
found a settling place in quietude
Love is the only force
capable of transforming a clod of dirt into a living breathing human being
Love is the most intense,
unselfish, and unpossessed of all emotions
Love is an irresistible
desire to be irresistibly desired
Love is a mutual concern
for the welfare of another coupled with a feeling that they are deserving of
such concern
This is Your Life

The Ship
In a sea of people, my eyes will always search for you
because you are the constellation I’ve been trying to find
in a sea of people, my eyes will always search for you
and if I can’t see you, I feel like all the lights go out
in a sea of people, my eyes
will always search for you.

A Stray Thought
Be a light not a judge.
Be a model not a choice.
Be part of the solution not

The Thief of Time
My advice is to never do
tomorrow
what you can do today.
Procrastination is the
thief of time
And that’s what I was
doing.
I was procrastinating.

Monotheist
The lover is a monotheist
who knows
that other people worship
different gods
but cannot himself imagine
that
there could be other gods.

The Art of Happiness
For every minute you are angry,
you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
It is an art to be still,
to let the mind dissolve into its own breath.
The mind has so many thoughts,
a million, ten million; and then more.
The thoughts come, and then they go.
It is an art to be still,
to let the mind dissolve into its own breath.

The Wise Woman and the Snake
Nature has given us all the pieces required
to achieve exceptional wellness and health,
but has left it to us to put these pieces together.
The Wise Woman is the Earth and the Snake
The Snake is the Healer of all Ills
The Earth is a living organism containing
every mineral and nutrient needed to sustain life.

We need 4 hugs a day for survival
We need 4 hugs a day for survival.
We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance.
We need 12 hugs a day for
growth
We need a hug when we get up in the morning.
We need a hug before we go to bed at night.
We need hugs in
between
We need a hug when we're feeling down.
We need a hug when we're feeling happy.
We need hugs all the time
We need hugs from our friends and family.
We need hugs from the people we meet on the street.
We need
hugs everyday
We need to give out hugs and take them in.
And this is how we can grow and thrive

To Insure the Protection and the Happiness
of the People of the Country
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely
according to conscience, above all liberties
Let me have the medicine of the present moment,
not the food of an hour to come.
Without fear or favor I make my appeal to you
who are now
assembled on the brink of a new era,
An era which will open up the avenues
of progress and place them
in all our hands.
The idea that we must consider ourselves
only as favored children of God is a luxury
which we cannot afford any longer.

Reaching across the void
You have not got a book in your hand,
you have got nothing at all.
Without a book, you are nothing.
I was born without a book in my hand.
I am nothing.
You have got to get a new story about your life,
and if that is
not enough, what about the rest of us?
You have got to get over yourself. Your story, and no one else’s.
Your mommy and daddy’s stories are not the same as yours,
but you
don’t know it yet! And maybe never will.
The Soul is Not a Stone, But a Husk of Birds
The soul is not a stone
but a husk of birds
who have fallen from the nest.
Bruised and broken, they lie in the corner
of your room, mourning themselves.
But you cannot hear them.
The soul cannot be heard.
It cannot be seen.
It cannot be touched.
It is abandoned and alone,
