Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it’s not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
lyrics from Who Are We Fooling by Brooke Fraser
Our bond can never be broken- no matter how hard we try.

I did not ask for any crown
but that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.
Louisa May Alcott
The poem prompted me to think about the crown of thorns…
Happy Easter!

She is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.
from Witch-Wife by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Often I am happier on my own.

Did I make the most of loving you?
So many things we didn’t do.
Did I give you all my heart could give?
Two unlived lives with lives to live.
When these endless, lonely days are through,
I’ll make the most of loving you.
I’ll make the most of loving you.
From Downtown Abbey, composer- John Lunn, lyrics – Don Black
Sung by Mary Jess
Counting the minutes until we are together again…

She is a woman whose life is crowded with not-unpleasant errands and with the entrapment of fragrant, familiar, and sometimes enchanting items, all of which possess a reassuring, measurable weight and volume.
from Dying For Love in Dressing Up For The Carnival by Carol Shields
I would rather crowd my life with love…

Wabi sabi art is a distillation of their [the monks’] humble efforts to try and express, in a physical form, their love of a life balanced against the sense of serene sadness that is life’s inevitable passing.
from wabi sabi, the japanese art of impermanence by Andrew Juniper
Perhaps I find the burst of blossoms so beautiful because it will not last.

– by a couple of them, but they weren’t the right ones.
from Three Tall Women by Edward Albee
I always thought I would find the right one, but now I’m not so sure.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain
Take me with you – I will make a good first mate.
