love

(image by madameperipetie)

"Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold in high regard.  It can be light as the hug we give a friend or heavy as the sacrifices we make for our children.  It can be romantic, platonic, familial, fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional, imbued with sorrow, stoked by sex, sullied by abuse, amplified by kindness, twisted by betrayal, deepened by time, darkened by difficulty, leavened by generosity, nourished by humor, and 'loaded with promises and commitments' that we may  or may not want to keep.  The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of love."

Quantum Leap


Make me sweet again,
fragrant and fresh and wild,
and thankful for any small gesture.
- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi



the rhythm and the beat
the rebel and the sweet

eternal union
harmonic heart

wonder, 
wisdom
eternal kingdom

shedding skin
to begin, and re-begin

to get up upon your feet
"to prepare a face to meet"

reaching rhythm in the beat
swaying sweetly in the sweet

dancing freely
tambourine
finding nature 
in routine 

floating, flying 
letting go
again returning
to finding flow
