How Do I Love Thee
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise,
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints -I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death
E.B. Browning
Happiness
Posted by Carl in Health and more, Philosophy, Poetry, Writing on April 25th, 2010
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi
The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances. ~Martha Washington
It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. ~Dale Carnegie
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. ~Oscar Wilde
Cherish your visions
Posted by Carl in Love, Philosophy, Poetry, Writing on April 16th, 2010
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
Solitary
If I were a little bird
and had two little wings,
I would fly to you.
But since it cannot be,
I must stay here.
Although I’m far from you,
in sleep I’m beside you,
speaking with you.
But when I awaken,
I am alone.
Not an hour of the night goes by
that my heart doesn’t awaken
And think of you,
and imagine that, many thousands of times,
you give your heart to me.
A Mother’s Prayer
From a mother’s Prayer Book
May you always have enough:
Happiness to keep you sweet..
Trials to keep you strong..
Sorrows to keep you humble..
Success to make you eager..
Friends to give you comfort..
Wealth to meet your needs..
Faith to vanquish depression..
And
Determination to make each day better than the day before.
Ecstasy
As the heavens swirled above our heads time stood still..only the sound of our breath was there and the thump of 2 hearts beating in perfect harmony.
