BioEverything we were becomes what we are and who we will be...
Mistakes, what is left over and unused, remnants of faded and forgotten letters, feelings once everything into dreams of something far away, table clothes, wallpaper, flowers of vibrant oranges and reds, paper dolls, maps, fabrics, and sheets of music once played and heard - now left quiet...
All into what we are now...
and who we will be tomorrow...
I am in the process of patching together my crooked life - held together but partially ubscured...
duck tape, ribbons, thread... paper clips... safety pins...
Messy, Thrilling, Random, Beautiful Life...
*HUGS* TOTAL!

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?
- -- Robert Browning
When scientists find the middle of the universe, some people will be sad to find out that they aren't it...
- -- Justin Evans
Nothing will sustain you more potently than the power to recognize in your humdrum routine, as perhaps it may be thought, the true poetry of life.
- -- Sir William Osler
I don't like work... but I like what is in work -- the chance to find yourself. Your own reality -- for yourself, not for others -- which no other man can ever know.
- -- Joseph Conrad
Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.
- -- Charles Caleb Colton
Or, if there were a sympathy in choice - war, death or sickness did lay siege to it, making it momentary as a sound, swift as a shadow, short as any dream, brief as the lightning in the night that unfolds both heaven and earth. And ere a man hath power to say, "Behold!" the jaws of darkness do devour it up. So quick bright things come to confusion.
- -- A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
Tough times never last. Tough people do.
- -- Robert Schuller
Love isn't about finding a perfect person, it's about seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
- -- Unknown
Peace isn't finding contentment in the world and stress, but finding the contentment in yourself.
- -- Justin Evans
You don't need wise people, you just need me.
- -- Amanda Graham (haha)
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
- -- Dr. Seuss
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes.
- -- Frieda Norris
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many--not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
- -- Charles Dickens
Life rocks when you make it.
- -- Britt Phillips
Not knowing everything is all that makes it alright sometimes.
- -- lj user wastedkisses
When the going gets tough, dance like you are in the grocery store!
- -- Amanda Smith
There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.
- -- Richard Rybolt
We don't like to remember, but we hate people who forget.
- -- Britt Phillips
It teaches the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid. To be proud and unbowed in defeat yet humble and gentle in victory. And to master ourselves before we attempt to master others. And to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep. And to give the predominance of courage over timidity.
- -- General Douglas MacArthur
No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.
- -- Thomas Carlyle
This is not my house; it is the house of Christ. It does not ask any corner whether he has a name, but whether he has an affliction... you have left a place of suffering. But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred good men. If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion; if you leave it with goodwill, gentleness, and peace, you are better than any of us.
Liberation is not deliverance.
- -- Les Miserables, Victor Hugo
How great it is to have a beautiful mind, but what an even greater joy to find a beautiful heart.
- -- A Beautiful Mind
Just follow your heart, that's what I always do.
- -- Napoleon Dynamite
Furthest distance I've ever known is from my head to my heart.
- -- Laura LaFonte
I've thrown myself headlong into your arms -
I'm celebrating your rescue.
I'm singing at the top of my lungs.
I am so full of answered prayer.
- -- Psalms 13:5-6
That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.
- -- Lise Hand
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
In truth that she learned,
or in times that he cried?
In the bridges he burned,
or the way that she died?
- -- Seasons of Love, Rent
It was then that I realized that sometimes there just aren't enough rocks.
- -- Forrest Gump
Moon river, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style, some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world, There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' round the bend..
My moon river friend and me.
- -- Moon River, Louis Armstrong
Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans.
- -- Mr. Holland's Opus
A feeling, a plague, that runs through my veins.
A smile, a laugh, the looks exchanged..
And a passion that's felt that only one word can explain.
- -- Meggin Major
A friend is one who sees through you and still enjoys the view.

You can't change what you've done, but you can change what you're doing..
