About Me

More Videos "For one human being to love another; that is the most difficult of all of our tasks, the ultimate, the last test of proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." "Love is something difficult and it is more difficult than other things because in other conflicts nature herself enjoins men to collect themselves, to take themselves firmly in the hand with all their strength, while in the heightening of love the impulse is to give oneself wholly away."~R.M Rilke How can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn't touch your soul? How can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things? I would like to shelter it, among remote lost objects, in some dark and silent place that doesn't resonate when your depths resound. Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two seperate strings. Upon what instrument are we two spanned? And what musician holds us in his hand? Oh sweetest song. ~RILKE Everything happens for a reason. I believe this to be true.Take a lump of clay, Wet it, pat it, Make a statue of you And a statue of me then shatter them, clatter them, Add some water, And break them and mold them Into a staute of you And a statue of me. Then in mine there are bits of you And in you there are bits of me. Nothing shall ever keep us apart. - Kuan Tao-Sheng ******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 even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Emerson -1808.......Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right -- The leaves upon her falling light -- Thro' the noises of the night, She floated down to Camelot: And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott. ..
