when forever is just a word..

"I guess that's all forever is. Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now."
--- Daniel Booker, The Horse Whisperer.

Isn't just that right? When I stumbled upon this certain passage, I knew that all along, I've been thinking with the same line of thought. Maybe that's why I never considered the phrase "now and forever" a valid one. Because, I'd rather prefer the phrase "forever and beyond".

And what is it they usually say? "Tomorrow never comes." So most likely, we'll NEVER find forever tomorrow, or even in the next tomorrows of tomorrow. Why? Because we can only take one day at a time. One "now"-- one "forever" -- each day.

someone will, but you will be you.

Someone will always be prettier.

Someone will always be smarter.

Someone's house will be bigger.

Someone's car will be better.

Someone's husband will fix more thingsaround the house.

JUST LET IT GO!

&& Love your circumstances..

JUST THINK..

The prettiest woman in the world canhave hell in her heart.

The most highly favored woman in yourjob may be unable to have children.

And the richest woman you know [[whohas the biggest house, nicest car, &&expensive clothes]] may be very lonely.

And the word says...

"If I have not Loved, I am nothing."

So Love who you are!In the morning, look in the mirror,smile & say..


"I am too blessed to be stressed & tooanointed to be disappointed!"



"BE "BLESSED" LADIES!!





= something they told me.. ('^.x)

learning from Caravaggio


"Tell me, is it possible to love someone who is not as smart as you are?...I mean, she may not be smarter than you. But isn't it important for you to think she is smarter than you in order to fall inlove? Think now. She can be obssessed by the Englishman because he knows more. You see, it is easier to fall in love with him than with you. Why is that? Because we want to know things, how the pieces fit. Talkers seduce, words direct us into corners. We want more than anything to grow and change..."


Isn't that just true? Indeed, for me, it is. For humans are curious creatures. We love to have answers and so we are always drawn to the keys that we think will lead us out of ignorance. And so they do. But often, we arejust too much excited that we forget to think about consequences. And so begins another whirlwind-chase for answers that eventually turns out to be carrier of a bigger luggage of curiosities than the one we're already holding.
I don't actually know how it is with other people. All that I know is that, we people will always be ignorant--one way or another. And that, we will always try not to be one and again and again, fail. A never-ending cycle of foolishness and knowing.
