Movement

I'm not interested in how people move, but in what moves them. ~Pina Bausch

Intoxicate

Flowers really do intoxicate me. ~Vita Sackville-West

Mountain

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching. ~Sivananda Saraswati

Opening

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. ~Havelock Ellis

Dragon

Always speak politely to an enraged Dragon. ~Stephen Brust

Let Go

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?

~Leo Buscaglia

I never see the prettiest thing -
A cherry bough gone white with Spring -
But what I think, "How gay 'twould be
To hang me from a flowering tree."

~Dorothy Parker

Happiness

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.

Spring

Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
