sigh

That’s a contented sigh, by the way. I’ve been absent, but only because living my life demands my presence. Not to imply my newly retitled blog of love isn’t an important part of my life. Absolutement mes cheries! I really have yet to incorporate writing (on demand, through theme) as a part of my daily menu. Sigh.

Why are sighs so comforting? This whispery exhalation of breath, sent out with emotion that is somehow refreshing and surrendering at once. These illustrations by Sophie Griotto make me sigh. Note: I edited the first one for a wallpaper for my iPhone.

auditions now being held: new life philosophy!

Current & exceptionally effective: “Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” – G.B. Shaw
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

-George Bernard Shaw

- – -

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

-Tuesdays With Morrie

- – -

Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

-Bill Cosby

- – -

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.
-Anaïs Nin
- – -
If we listened to our intellect we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go in business because we’d be cynical: “It’s gonna go wrong.” Or “She’s going to hurt me.” Or, “I’ve had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore …” Well, that’s nonsense. You’re going to miss life. You’ve got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.
-Ray Bradbury
- – -
Is your life safe? The word safe is both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective it means “being free from danger.” As a noun it’s “an enclosed storage container with a lock on it.” If you’re living the adjective, you’re living the noun.

-Steve Pavlina

she takes showers in the dark

she’s painted every toe a different colour and wears three different perfumes: one behind each ear and a drop on each wrist. always wears hope sewn to the lace on her brassiere. collects words, hoards words, eats words, cooks with words, hangs words in the shower, frames words, writes them on the bottom of her shoes, hides them between her pillows, plants them in the herb garden, writes them upside down, sews them into the thread of her skin. repeats a lie 30 times in her head before she means it. uses tea bag strings as bookmarks, uses tea bags three times, uses a teaspoon of chocolate powder in her teapot. has lists of lists. prefers warm above everything else. uses rain as the ultimate excuse. calls crying rain. cries at breakfast. wants to be kissed for being smart.

is she silly? she’s silly, isn’t she? she can hum the word silly…it sounds like Benny and the Jets.
