Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.

Autumn Morning Photography – Inspiring Words

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape, the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it – the whole story doesn’t show.

Friendship Glittering Card

Giulia


This is so true… the sad thing nowadays is how friends grow apart from each other due to the ever lasting enemy: time! Once a week call a different friend, one that you haven’t been in contact for a while… You will feel his smile through the phone, just give it a try!

The Fifth Letter – Beautiful and Sad Love Poem

The Fifth Letter - Beautiful and Sad Love Poem

photo by Ali QJo

 

I sit at my desk, with a candle lit
Since you joined the navy, I can’t rest a bit.
It is close to midnight, and I miss you so
I wish you’d come back and then never go.

Our garden’s blooming, with the roses red,
Like the ones you gave me… remember? When we met…
Your mom caught a cold, but she said “Don’t worry
My son, focus there, and return in glory!”

Now I write again, this is my fifth letter
Do you know a way how to make this better?
Darling there’s no way for me to ease this pain
Since you joined the navy, it all seems in vain.

I stare at your picture, every single day
You’re close in my heart, but so far away…
Did your captain say when you can come home?
Darling you must ask, I feel so alone!

But what’s wrong with me, this is the fifth letter
That I write to you, and I don’t feel better…
All I do is write and then pile them in a box
The war is long over, but your ship hit rocks…

Darling how I miss you, since you joined the navy,
And you’ll never know that we have a baby…

Mystical Love - Gorgeous Poem and Picture

 

Your skin glows like a fresh cherry,
Blossoms tasty as the rose in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your crystal clear voice
And leaps like a young colt at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great butterfly wing.
I am comforted by your hat that I carry into the twilight of songbeams.
I hold next to my lips.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of sorrow.
As my eyes fall from my old scarf, it reminds me of your love.
In the quiet, I listen for the last note of the day.
My heated arms leap to yours.
I wait in the moonlight for our secret sign
So that we may run as one, arms to arms,
In search of the magnificent, pure and mystical love.

The eyes are the mirror to the human soul and so is nature… Its soul reflects in clear blue waters. Lately people fail to see nature and its soul because they alter the reflections.

The sun does not set to end a day, it sets to begin a night and give the chance to all creatures to live. The darkness is not scary, unless your mind is blank and can’t imagine the beauty and life beyond it.

Stare at the horizon and open your mind. Breath deep. Go outside and look around. You are smaller than an ant in Universe. What makes you think you have the right to judge others? Live to be happy, smile to make others happy. Enjoy life and do not frown, give advice if you are wiser than others. But always remember that even the stupid people can say smart things.

Your life will never be painted in pink. But look around you, look at nature. There are better colors than pink…

When all the world is young
And all the trees are green
And every goose a swan,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse,
And round the world away:
Young blood must have its course,
And every dog his day.

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee… gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.

“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.” – Rod Sterling

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.”
– Dale Carnegie

A friend drops their plans when you’re in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you’re in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice–but when you don’t follow it, they still respect and love you.

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved…

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

“Beauty is a form of genius – is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.” – Oscar Wilde

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

Solitude is such a potential thing. We hear voices in solitude, we never hear in the hurry and turmoil of life; we receive counsels and comforts, we get under no other condition.

Love is putting your everything in someone. It’s knowing that you’re handing that person a weapon that is capable of destroying you…but trusting them not to. Love is so powerful! It isn’t a word that should just be thrown around like it is…
