Words that I love

"'Every so often I wonder what we are waiting for!'

Silence.

'For it to be too late, Madame'"
-Alessandro Barrico -"Ocean Sea"

"In another life,we will be able to be honest. We will be able to be silent."
- Alessandro Barrico -"City"

"To what will you look for help if you will not look to that which is stronger than yourself."
- C.S. Lewis

"The bravest are the tenderest-The loving the daring."

"I love those who yearn for the impossible."

Talking to a stranger on the bus.
Decent conversation
surprises me.
No names exchanged
just things Ive neglected to tell anyone close to me.
Hopes and fears.
Laughter.
Easy words pass and the time is gone.
A goodbye
and thank you.
Its over, this acquaintance. Finished
before it began.
no regrets to be had.
no needed or unneeded words.
Close chapter.
-Lisa Mennell

"You pray
so as not to remain alone
to while away the time.
You'd never dream that
God...
that God
likes to listen
to you.
Isn't That amazing.
You heard me.
You saved me."
- Alessandro Barrico -"Ocean Sea"

I had a quiet afternoon of contemplation today. Words seem lovelier than normal.
