About Me

IthakaWhen you set out for Ithaka Ask that your way be long, Full of adventure, full of instruction. The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops, Angry Poseidon ~ do not fear them: Such as these you will never find As long as your thought is lofty, as long as a rare Emotion touch your spirit and your body. The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops, Angry Poseidon ~ you will not meet them Unless you carry them in your soul, Unless your soul raise them up before you.Ask that your way be long. At many a summer dawn to enter ~with what gratitude, what joy~ Ports seen for the first time; To stop at Phoenician trading centres, And to buy good merchandise, Mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony, And sensuous perfumes of every kind, Sensuous perfumes as lavishly as you can; To visit many Egyptian cities, To gather stores of knowledge from the learned. Have Ithaka always in your mind. Your arrival there is what you are destined for. But do not in the least hurry the journey. Better that it lasts for years, So that when you reach the islands you are old, Rich with all you have gained on the way, Not expecting Ithaka to give you wealth. Ithaka gave you the splendid journey. Without her you would not have set out. She hasn't anything else to give you.And if you find her poor, Ithaka has not deceived you. So wise have you become, of such experience, That already you will have understood what these Ithakas mean.~C.P. Cavey
You Are From Neptune
You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything. What Planet Are You From?

You are the Star card. The Star is the light of
hope. Shining in the night, sending light into
darkness, the stars provide direction to
sailors and are a field on which to dream.
Humanity used to look up at the sky and desire
to be there, to find out what it all meant, and
now we have been a distance into space and have
elementary ideas of the makeup of all the
different stars. This kind of achievement adds
further fuel to our hopes. The eternal,
slow-moving stars that will be long shining
past the end of our own existence provide hope
of immortality, and the vast space they suggest
and the very mystery they hold provide us with
excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Heroes:

my nana, Bob Marley, Siddhartha , ------ A Poem by Mother Theresa-----People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may acuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.(Engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta -- English Translation)
You are a water witch. Beautiful and intuitive, you
draw your power from the water. You can be
tranquil and terrible at one and the same time
and might be described as "moody."
You appreciate literature and may be a
poet/writer. Graceful and powerful as the water
itself, the rest of us envy your ability to
love and be loved by others.
What kind of 'witch' are you?
