Easter Eyes

“I wish each of us Easter eyes,
able to perceive in death, life;
in guilt, forgiveness;
in separation unity;
in wounds glory;
in the human, God;
in God, the human;
and in the I, the You.”

~ Klaus Hemmerle :)

25 June 2018

Reflected

“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”

~ John Joseph Powell :)

24 June 2018

Second Chances

You might not agree with me.
I know.
We know.
But we made a decision to stay,
love, guard and allow for second chances :)

14 June 2018

Forgiveness

“Forgiveness is not about forgetting.

It is about letting go of another person’s throat.

Forgiveness does not create a relationship.

Unless people speak the truth about what they have done

and change their mind and behavior,

a relationship of trust is not possible.

When we forgive someone

we certainly release them from judgment,

but without true change,

no real relationship can be established.

Forgiveness in no way requires

that we trust the one we forgive.

But should they finally confess and repent,

we will discover a miracle in our own heart

that allows us to reach out

and begin to build between us a bridge of reconciliation.

Forgiveness does not excuse anything.

We may have to declare our forgiveness

a hundred times the first day

and the second day,

but the third day will be less

and each day after,

until one day we will realize

that we have forgiven completely.

And then one day

we will pray for the person's wholeness.”

~ Paul Young :)

Real Love

“I heard once that real love does not ask
what is in it for me;
it just gives unconditionally.
It just tries to take
the weight out of somebody else’s pack,
lessen his load,
and if it gets reciprocated,
that is great,
but that is not what you did it for.”

~ Donald Miller :)

If

"If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

~ Rudyard Kipling :)

Act of Photography

“We bring to the act of photography
all the pictures we have seen,
the books we have read,
the music we have heard,
the people we have loved.”

~ Ansel Adams :)

05 June 2018

Gentleman

“There is something about being

in the presence of a gentleman

that just has me on my toes

and stroking my collar bones.

From their strength and masculinity

to their compassionate polite mannerisms.

Their sharp suits and shape ups,

their bearded smiles.

Their intellectual conversations

mixed with wit and banter.

Their elegance and finesse,

the scent of their cologne.

Their drive and ambition,

their work rate and hustle.

How they treat their superiors and inferiors.

How they treat other brothers,

other people within their community,

how they treat their family.

Their way of protecting you,

holding and consoling you

and most importantly,

their dedication towards their spirituality.

You will know when you are in the presence of a gentleman,

because you will find yourself

encouraging the urge to become a better woman."

~ Author Unknown :)

Brave

"It is not always enough to be brave,
I realized years later.
We have to be brave
and contribute something positive, too.
Brave on its own is just a party trick."

~ B.J. Novak :)

03 June 2018

Succeeded

"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know that even one life has breathed easier
because we have lived.
This is to have succeeded."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson :)

02 June 2018

Enough

"And with or without
anyone’s acknowledgment or affection,
we are enough."

~ Danielle Koepke :)

Big Moments

Birthdays always leave me in a pensive mood

Don't ask me why.

But I've always been an introspective kind of gal.

Big moments or milestones only serve one true purpose,

in my opinion.

To tell us "X" amount of time has passed

and leave us to take stock of what that means

and why we are here :)

31 May 2018

Always

"Always retain the ability to walk away,
without sentimentality,
from a situation that felt unmanageable.
That was a basic rule of survival.
Do not lift a finger for a lost cause."

~ Stieg Larsson :)

30 May 2018

Teach Us

"It is the questions we can’t answer
that teach us the most.
They teach us how to think.
If we give a man an answer,
all he gains is a little fact.
But give him a question
and he will look for his own answers."

~ Patrick Rothfuss :)

29 May 2018

Alone

"We need to be alone
for certain periods of time
or we violate our own rhythm."

~ Lee Krasner :)

28 May 2018

Wonderful

That bold line of text in my inbox
makes my heart beat faster every time.
There is absolutely nothing
as wonderful as receiving new mail
from a dear old friend :)

27 May 2018

Every Now and Then

Short messages on Facebook and Twitter
let us feel that we are connected on a daily basis,
but every now and then
I still send or receive a proper letter via e-mail :)

26 May 2018

Messages and Missives

If the longer e-mail messages
were the bricks that built our relationship,
these shorter missives are the cement,
the binding material
that proves the structure we have built between us
has tangible presence in our offline lives :)

25 May 2018

Treasure

I treasure these e-mail letters
as I would paintings created specially for me :)

24 May 2018

Meaning

Every e-mail
is a beautifully typed dissertation
on the meaning of life and love :)

23 May 2018

Comic Word Painting

Re-reading my e-mail history with my friends,
I see us graduating from tentative politeness and inquiries
about each other's health
to genuine concern, comic word paintings
and uninhibited explosions of laughter, sadness or anger :)

22 May 2018

Excellent Memoir in Instalments

Whether newsy or funny
or stream-of-consciousness recollections
of an experience,
long-form e-mail messages
are a special form of narrative.
Reading them is the literary equivalent
of watching reality TV
or like reading an excellent memoir in instalments :)

21 May 2018

Coherent Narrative

Chat applications are good
to quickly share snapshots of the day
or jokes or motivational quotes
but lack the emotional intimacy of the long e-mail.

When a long e-mail arrives in the inbox,
it indicates that someone was not only thinking of you
but thought you were worth the time and effort
it took to craft their words into coherent narrative :)

20 May 2018

An Art

There is an art to long-form correspondence
which is worth preserving
even in this era of WhatsApp chat messages
and Facebook Messenger :)

19 May 2018

Eventually

Eventually we did speak on the phone,
paying international dialling rates,
but we communicated mostly in long-form e-mails :)

18 May 2018

Overlap

We lived in different time zones
but we stay up late enough
that our waking hours overlap :)

17 May 2018

Building Blocks

The building blocks of all these friendships
have been long-form e-mail messages :)

16 May 2018

Exactly Once

But we have met exactly once
in the history of our friendship,
which has been conducted mostly via e-mail
and now Facebook, Twitter as well as WhatsApp :)

15 May 2018

Personal and Social

The choice is indeed intensely personal
but the impact is extensively social :)

14 May 2018

Possible

It is possible
to forge a deep, lasting connection
with a complete stranger online :)

13 May 2018

Walk Away

"Walking is the best exercise...!

'Walk Away' from arguments
that lead us to nowhere but anger.

'Walk Away' from people
who deliberately put us down.

'Walk Away' from any thought
that reduces our worth.

'Walk Away' from failures and fears
that stiffle our dreams.

The more you 'Walk Away' from things
that poison our soul,
the happier our life would be.

Gift Yourself A Walk Towards Happiness...."

~ Author Unknown :)

12 May 2018

Brains

"Things seem to move on fast

The brain cannot store all

Sometimes it is good to write them down

Do you ever bother?

Young brains very spongy

Older brains often too congested

Hahaha...good morning
Ohaiyoooo

Life is kind

I hope for kindness all around

This is my thoughts on a Monday morning

~ Mummy Tong :)

Love Deeply

"Love deeply."

~ Lailah Gifty Akita :)

10 May 2018

Soul Connection

“A soul connection
is a resonance between two people
who respond to the essential beauty
of each other’s individual natures,
behind their facades,
and who connect on a deeper level.

This kind of mutual recognition provides
the catalyst for a potential alchemy.
It is a sacred alliance
whose purpose is to help both partners
discover and realize their deepest potentials.

While a heart connection lets us
appreciate those we love just as they are,
a soul connection opens up a further dimension
– seeing and loving them for who they could be,
and for who we could become under their influence.”

~ John Welwood :)

09 May 2018

Prayer

Prayer is a mystery I’ll never grasp,
but it is a powerful thing indeed :)

08 May 2018

Offer

“When we offer peace instead of division,

when we offer faith instead of fear,

when we offer someone a place at your table

instead of keeping them out

because they are different

or messy or wrong somehow,

we represent the heart of Christ.”

~ Shauna Niequist :)

07 May 2018

Listening

“The reason listening to
somebody’s story
is so difficult is because
it reminds us
life is about more than just ours.”

~ Donald Miller :)

06 May 2018

Secrets

“Nothing makes us
as lonely as
our secrets.”

~ Paul Tournier :)

05 May 2018

Beauty and Depth

“The more I let people be who they are,
instead of cramming them into
what I need them from them,
the more surprised I am
by their beauty and depth.”

~ Shauna Niequist :)

04 May 2018

Enough

"If I could prove one point with my life,
it would be that God is love
and that His love is enough.

And it all has to do
with the weight of that word ‘enough.’

It’s enough because the love of God
is the conduit carrying me
from who I am to who I’m becoming.

It’s enough because it actively works
until it reaches completion.

It’s enough because it’s the only thing
that can strip me of the things
that stifle my growth and joy.”

~ Lauren Britt :)
