With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”

Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.”

“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.”

- Paulo Coelho, eleven minutes.

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it...."

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 01:05:15 -0400

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”

- Chuck Palahniuk (Choke)

I don't Care

You Can’t Imagine the Immensity of The Fuck That I don’t Give.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 23:56:17 -0500

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave bereft

I am not there. I have not left.

- a poem by Mary Frye
