Like a Knife

She would not say of any one in the world now that they were this or were that. She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knife through everything; at the same time was outside, looking on. She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day. Not that she thought herself clever, or much out of the ordinary. How she had got through life on the few twigs of knowledge...she could not think. She knew nothing...except memoirs in bed; and yet to her it was absolutely absorbing; all this; the cabs passing; and she would not say of herself, I am this, I am that.
--Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia Woolf)

I really need to start playing again

Walk and Emerge

For man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.
--John Steinbeck (the Grapes of Wrath)

My point exactly

Amen!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we learn to let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our prescence automatically liberates others."

--Mariann Williamson

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being.

Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
--Albert Schweitzer

Even so, I always follow mine

The Past

Always

When you love someone, when you truly love someone, that person becomes part of you. They become part of your life. Your everything. They change you and they inspire you in so many different ways that are indescribable.

How do you let go of someone who has made such an impact on your life? How do you let go of the only thing that keeps you going, keeps you strong? Loving someone with all you have is letting go of fear. It is growing up. Because when you love someone whole-heartedly, you let go of yourself. To live is to love. So how do you let go of someone you truly care about? The truth is...I don't think you can. I think no matter what happens, whether you are together or not, they are in your heart.

Always.

"The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers--stern and wild ones--and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss." ~The Scarlett Letter
