{Part of} Bei Hennef

You are the call and I am the answer,
You are the wish, and I the fulfillment,
You are the night, and I the day.
What else - it is perfect enough.
It is perfectly complete,
You and I,
What more--?


by D.H. Lawrence
(1885-1930)

And to complete it as we complete each other.

Bei Hennef

The little river twittering in the twilight,
The wan, wondering look of the pale sky,
This is almost bliss.


And everything shut up and gone to sleep,
All the troubles and anxieties and pain
Gone under the twilight.


Only the twilight now, and the soft "Sh!" of the river
That will last for ever.


And at last I know my love for you is here;
I can see it all, it is whole like the twilight,
It is large, so large, I could not see it before,
Because of the little lights and flickers and interruptions,
Troubles, anxieties and pains.

Part 2 is Jans.

Nature makes only dumb animals. We owe the fools to society.


Balzac, Honore De


J & I​

 

[JMH]

We need to give each other the space to grow,
to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity.
We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas,
openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.

Max de Pree

One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off.
Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not
passive observers.


Humes, James

[JaidynM]

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

[JMH]

We have two kinds of morality side by side:
one which we preach but do not practice
and another which we practice but seldom preach.


Bertrand Russell

{K /J}

[zigzag3143]

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.


Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

[zigzag3143test]

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself,
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed:
For love is sufficient unto love.

K. G.

Peace begins with a smile.
Mother Teresa

 

[JMH]

We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and,
at the same time,
capable of the greatest evil.

Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving,
compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that,
by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too.

Maíread Maguire

[zigzag3143]

When two people who together seek change, each must change what they hold closest. The person who cant trust must, the person who is insecure must become secure. Only in this way may both see the inner soul that drew them together in the first place.

The key to change... is to let go of fear. To take the chance for the rewards are worth it

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
Napoleon Bonaparte

 

[zigzag3143]

“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations”

Kahil Gibran for MJ

[JaidynM]

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.
Socrates

 

[zigzag3143]

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
