When love is not madness...

.. it is not love.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

RE: 25 signs you might be a Canadian eh!!

I have a Californian friend who thought a block heater was a way we kept the shopping district warm in winter.

RE: Not Exactly What You Prayed For....

Your line "we make the answer happen" rings true.

There should be caution though, taking time to be sure we are focused on the right answer. We don't always know what's best for us though we may think we have it all figured out. Trust in the guidance of a higher power however you name it: God, Goddess, Spirit, Universe...

Each of us will admit we value physical beauty, but a spiritual connection is so much more. Looking back I realize in 23 years of marriage I never had that, though for much of the early years there was simple love, friendship, companionship, shared joys and sorrows. These were not a strong enough bond to weather the trauma at the end of that journey. And for me there was no growth. I was simply trampled.

to everyone here. May you find whomever and whatever will fulfill you, regardless of what you pray for.

Love, peace and joy.

RE: Love At First Sight???

Only once did I fall in love at first glance. We're still together 18 years later care for each other deeply.

Reminds me, she's due for shots at the vet this month and I should clean the litter box...

RE: Not Exactly What You Prayed For....

I trust that the universe is unfolding as it should and ask that whatever (and whomever) may cross my path is for my best possible good.

RE: What you meant to me...

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

- I committed this to memory decades ago. Thanks for the reminder.

RE: “Daemonic Sign – Divine Madness – Intuition”

I'm spiritualist as well and share your beliefs. It's a comfort to be on this path but there aren't many people you can talk to.

RE: What Do you Want to DO before you Croak?

Catch a falling star

Climb a mountain

Become a grandmother

Love and be loved in return beyond anything I've ever felt

RE: Messenger Relationships???

I didn't need that image!

RE: Messenger Relationships???

I suppose the long pauses could be because they're writing to several women at once.

RE: Messenger Relationships???

Fall in love, no. Develop a strong attraction worth exploring, yes. As you say, personality comes through in one's voice and body language too.

RE: Salvador Dali -- What's the Deal?

Here's a comment from the mind behind the work:

"I believe that the moment is near when by a procedure of active paranoiac thought, it will be possible to systematize confusion and contribute to the total discrediting of the world of reality."

He also once said painting was only a minute part of who he was, and that he woke every morning with the great satisfaction of knowing he was Salvador Dali.

What if we could each face the day with the satisfaction of being who we are - instead of being restless and wanting something more or something else?
