A Moment of Zen If You Please...

Do we not cherish the

Infinite brightness

Of the one bright pearl?

Who can surpass

The virtue of this

Brilliant, radiant pearl

That covers the universe?

The essence of causality

Never ceases and

The pearl is always bright.

It is our original face and enlightened eye.

Something About A Good Movie Quote That Just Makes Your Heart Sing...

...
...

. ........... Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon. -Sally Owens

I Don't Need A Man To Make Me Feel Good...

...

...

"I don't need a man to make it happen, I get off being free. I don't need a man to make me feel good, I get off doing my thing. I don't need a ring around my finger to make me feel complete so let me break it down I can get off when you ain't around."

...

Well there it is. Plan and simple. I don't need a man in my life to make me feel whole. I don't need him to make me feel good about myself. I am a good person. I have friends who care about me. I am even somewhat good looking. I don't need him to make me the person that I am. It was because for his thoughts and worries in life that we broke up. It was not me. He even told me one night after he ended it that I was a good girlfriend. That didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted and needed to be on his own at this point in this life. I agree with that. I am okay with myself as a person right now. I am fine being single. I have so much stuff in my life right now with work and all that I couldnt be in a relationship even if I wanted to.

...

I do however still want to be friends. I still want to be able to joke around and ask how his day was...because I still care about him as a person. I want him to be happy. I Don't What him to feel like he can not talk to me just as a friend. Thats all that we should be. I will alway be his friend. I want only the best for everyone.
...
Now tell me. Is that wrong for me to want? It that the kind of thing that I should what? Am I childess for wanting that?

Fancy or a Felling...

Is love a fancy or a feeling?

No, It is immortal as innaculate truth. Is is not a blossom shed as soon as youth drops from the stem of life for it will grow in barren regions where no waters flow nor ray of promise cheats the pensive gloom.

Hmmm... I don't know how I feel about the words of Marianne Dashwood.

I find myself sitting here wondering is love truly a fancy or a feeling?

I Want To Be Forgotten, And I Don't Want To Be Reminded...

.....

;;;;;

......

....

...

............ You know what I miss the most?

...

Most people say its the sex that they miss the most when they break up with someone that they loved. Don't get me wrong sex is right up there on the list of things that I miss. it right near the top!

....

But I miss other things. Things like when he would kiss me on the forhead...or I would wake up and my hand would be in his. That may sound silly but its true. Things like having your best friend around to talk to. Just to talk...about how work was...or what you were going to do that night. Its the little things like that.

...

Now I don't write this for anyone to feel sorry for me...so if you feel sorry for me, stop right now! There's no need for it. I just write this down so I can kind of see what going on in my head and this point.

...

I know that we are not going to have some magical fairy tail ending and live happily ever after. Happily ever after only happens to stories that haven't ended yet. But I want so much to be friends. To be able to call on the phone to see how the day was, or say hey a bunch of people are going to (enter name here) do you want to come.

...

Is that a bad thing to want? Could someone please tell me. Cause sometimes I think in my head that that is a silly thing to want and that I'm crazy, but sometime I think...why not?

...

Please tell me want you think. -Maggie

For I Walk My Path Alone...

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. "-Buddha

...

Buddha give the strangth to do this thing that need to be done. Give me hope that I will see a brighter day tomorrow and let me keep walking down my path in life.

...

Once I thought tha my path was a simple one. That I could see what my path had for me. But now it is dark and I must walk in alone.

...

I know now that I was meant to travel my path alone. I understand this, For I walk my path alone....

Sex and Sushi

Well here I am, sit here watching Sex and the City, eating Sushi and drinking my Green Tea Vitamin Water.

...

I got off work at two today and I stopped and got some stuff at the market. I came home and and went into clean mood. I now have all clean clothes and my kitchen, livingroom, bedroom, and bathroom are all perfect. I also know that I have no life. I guess it could bre worst.
...

I am started to worry that the high light of my day is watching my friends for Sex and the City. And the fact that I just called them my friends. But they do make me happy. I see so much of my really friends in the chacters and we have all had those same talks about men, sex and all jazz. Plus, if Im not getting any at least my tv pals are.

...

Is that sad. Maybe...but I don't think that I really care.
