    words that have touched my heart

    I have made a compilation of Words & Lines that have touched my heart to share with those who visit this site. I hope you find the same inspiration as I have found in them.

    i do not have to make over the universe,
    i have only to do my job, great or small,
    and to look often at the trees
    and the flowers and the fields,
    and be friendly with everyone.
    JOHN GRAY

    a good friend laughs at your worst jokes,
    puts up with your worst moods,
    goes along with your worst ideas
    and always sees the best in you.

    Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
    but to be fearless in facing them.
    Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
    but for the heart to conquer it.
    Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield
    but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
    Grant me that I may not be a coward
    feeling your mercy in my success alone,
    but let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
    RABINDRANATH TAGORE

    Most of the time we wear our masks. But during the difficult times, during the winters of our lives, we shed our facades and reveal all the intricacies of the unique beings we are. It is in these moments that friendships are formed, and we experience one another as few others ever will.
    JOHN W. WALKER

    "...I went driving last night on a dark canyon road,
    had the sky to myself but I wasn't alone.
    Had the pain of my lifetime for my company...
    HOW DID IT END UP LIKE THIS FOR YOU AND ME?
    When love breaks the promise the heart has to keep
    it leaves only truth here to find.
    When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep,
    between you and I.
    Even when love has come and gone
    and our hearts have moved along, I will remember.
    There was a time we had the trust,
    and that always was enough.
    I will remember, I will remember you.
    As I open my eyes to one more day
    the wind burns my face as it whispers your name.
    As it's pulling me forward it tears me free,
    and the only thing left is the tears for you an me...."
    STEVE LUKATHER & STAN LYNCH
    from the song "I will Remember"

    ASCENCION
    And if I go,
    while you're still here,
    Know that I live on ---
    vibrating to a different measure...
    behind a veil you cannot see through.
    You will not see me,
    so you must have faith.
    I will wait for the time when we can soar together again
    --- both aware of each other.
    Until then, live your life to the fullest,
    and when you need me,
    just whisper my name in your heart
    I will be there..."
    COLLEEN HITCHCOCK

    We find our happiness only when we follow what we most love in the world.
