sinking into mother nature

‎'there is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, we must rise and follow her; when from every hill of flame, she calls and calls each vagabond by name'

~william bliss

'it is impossible to imagine a more complete fusion with nature than that of the gypsy.'

~franz liszt

'we are all wanderers on this earth. our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams.'

~gypsy proverb.

living on a rainbow

I can feel your heart beat,

When Im all alone. I can feel your heart beat like its my own.

I can hear your music from a million miles away.

The angels got right when they made you that way.

Sometimes I wonder if youre made from bones and skin

Or are you something for me to begin again, again.

This love, this love, this love

I will build you a mountain,

So you can see.

All the away across the universe to me.

I will build you shelter for when the days are cold.

I will be your shelter for when were old and kind.

This love, this love.

barefoot in the sunshine

'i crossed the road to walk in the sunshine'

ok so i finished, complete! a walking, talking, human...emerged from the great depths of a life i have known for 13 years. now finally free and able to walk in my own light completely.

some felt sadness and a pang of emptiness...though i felt refreshed and alive!

now i wait to plunge myself into a new ocean, experience the ups and downs that follow, but ride smoothly along the waves occasionally resurfacing looking around and dunking my head back down into the big blue.

i will stop and swim to the shore, tread lightly on the sand and feel it pulsate through my toes...smile and continue on. like any being on a journey.

a whisper

'Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.'

~Elizabeth Gilbert Eat, Pray, Love

Ok so what's the speed of dark?

It was the love of love, the love that swallows up all else, a grateful love,a love of nature, of people, of animals, a love engendering gentleness and goodness that moved me and that I saw in you.
William Carlos Williams

I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.

Steven Wright

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days-three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. John Keats

Don't look for what we know
The unfamiliar is right below our eyes.

I could fall in love with you if i let myself.

Wonder if I've been changed in the night?Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning?
But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?'Ah, that's the great puzzle!

Alice in Wonderland


You know that place between sleep and awake where you're still dreaming?

At first a small line of inconceivable splendour emerged on the horizon, which, quickly expanding, the sun appeared in all of his glory, unveiling the whole face of nature, vivifying every color of the landscape, and sprinkling the dewy earth with glittering light. Ann Radcliffe


Just leave me your stardust to remember you by...

To approach the stranger is to invite the unexpected, release a new force, let the genie out of the bottle. It is to start a new train of events that is beyond your control.

Sometimes you have to do stuff that average people dont understand...becasue these are the only good things. Andy Warhol

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. Rumi
