So swift

Autumn to winter, winter into spring.
Spring, into summer, summer into fall,
So rolls the changing year, and so we change;
Motion so swift, we know not that we move.
--Dinah Mulock Craik

The paradox

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

 --Mother Teresa

Like bread

“Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.”

--Ursula K. LeGuin

Use well the days

Round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I have passed them by
A day will come
I will take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon and East of the Sun...
--J.R.R. Tolkien/Annie Lennox (Click here to see why Annie Lennox is billed with Tolkien.)

Thank you, Oliver!

Time

Time heals what reason cannot.

--Seneca

The beauty of the soul

As love grows within you, so beauty grows; for love is the beauty of the soul.
--Saint Augustine

A true friend

A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.  

~William Penn
