Think of all the beauty still left around you, and be happy.  — Anne Frank

                                  the only reason we’re here
                                       is to give our love?"

Hellävaroen, hyvin hellästi

Elämän antaminen toiselle on sitä
että on täynnä pyhää ihmettelyä ja kunnioitusta
toisen ihmisen salaisuuden edessä;
että näkee kauneuden kaiken sen sisällä ja takana
mikä toisessa on särkynyt.

Rakastaminen ei ole sitä, että annat rikkauksiasi,
vaan että paljastat toisille heidän aarteensa,
heidän lahjansa, heidän arvonsa,
ja luotat heihin ja heidän kykyynsä kasvaa.

Siksi on tärkeää lähestyä ihmisiä
jotka ovat murrettuja ja vähäisiä,
hellävaroen, hyvin hellästi,
ei tyrkyttäen vaan ottaen vastaan heidät
sellaisina kuin he ovat,
nöyrästi ja kunnioittavasti.

- Jean Varnier runossa Murrettu ruumis

"I am still so naive. I know pretty much what I like and dislike, but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?"

Love Her Style!

 

Via Sunday Crossbow

"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 (Mitch Albom)

 

" Your touch
is peace
to me.
I have met nothing
with so much
gentleness."

-Tyler Knott Gregson

"The real struggle…is about you: you, a person who has to learn to live in the real world, to inhabit her own skin, to know her own heart, to stop waiting for her life to begin."

-  Caroline Knapp

Dreaming

 "I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that I want to live in a house that is filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house, I’ll be going to a job I love, and I’ll return to a person I love. So that’s the dream I’m working on."
