Lack of control for the mad ones

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"


“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”

- Jack Kerouac-

To our next crazy venture

"What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."

-Jack Kerouac-


Rainbows are beautiful things. But their beauty is fleeting; for it we are unable to reach out for, to hold, to have.

--------------------------------------

All men dream
but not equally.
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds
Awake in the day to find
that it was vanity.

But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men
For they may act their dreams with open eyes
To make it reality.

Tuck and Patti- Take my breath away


Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just, take my breath away.

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle & sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there just to use
I'm gonna stand on the mountain top
and tell the news
That you take my breath away.

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away.
Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh, don't you know
You just take my breath away

Love, therefore, and tongue-tied simplicity
In least speak most to my capacity.



A Midsummer Night's Dream Act V, Scene 1



The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact.


Love is no reason for a compromise.

Poem



This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.

People are often unreasonable, illogical,
& self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends
and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy
overnight: Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they
may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often
forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and
God; It was never between you and them anyway.

(from Jing)

How can i not be moved?

Lifehouse-everything

Find me here
Speak to me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You

You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose, You're everything.


How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?
Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?


You calm the storms, and You give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, You won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and You take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?


How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?



The Greatest Love Story of all time.
