i did...

without knowing, i did something i told myself i would never do again.
 i fell for someone, became vulnerable, became attached… 
i gave my heart to you.

i've learnt that:

i’ve learned that: goodbyes will always hurt,
pictures can never replace being there,
memories forget the hard times,
words can never replace feelings + heros often go unsung.

to be safe

to be safe, i should learn everything about everything.

but i don’t have time.

golden hive

we are the bees of the invisible world…

we perpetually gather the honey of the visible

world in order to store it in the great golden

hive of the invisible one.

deeper instinct

i, with a deeper instinct,
choose a man who compels my strength,
who makes enormous demands on me,
who does not doubt my courage or my toughness,
who does not believe me naive or innocent,
who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

smile, smile, smile at your mind as often as possible.

your smiling will considerably reduce

your mind’s tearing tension."

have a dream

have a dream, then learn to follow it.

when it has been fulfilled look back + ask yourself, was it worth it?

was the price too great?

or has it just left you with a hole in your heart?

the violets explode inside me

when i meet your eyes

then i’m spinning + i’m diving

like a cloud of starlings.

darling, is this love?

after a thousand years

lipping
flowers

and set my teeth in the silver of the moon

oma

 my tears are like the quiet drift, of petals from some magic rose;
+ all my grief flows from the rift, of unremembered skies + snows.

  i am sorry lovely followers for my lack of posting lately...

my dear 100 year old grandmother passed away on christmas eve.

we laughed and hold hands...
