"The only thing we can never get ...."

The one thing we can never get enough of is love.  And the one thing we never give enough of is love.

Henry Miller

"He who binds to himself a joy ...."

He who binds to himself a joy

Does the winged life destroy;

But he who kisses the joy as it flies

Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.

"Eternity", William Blake

In a full heart there is room for everything, and in an empty heart there is room for nothing.

Antonio Porchia

Bird brain?  But it's a beautiful life!

"Take more time ...."

Take more time, cover less ground.

Thomas Merton

"I'm selfish, impatient ...."

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
