Serve God love me and men
 
This is not the end 

Live unbruised 
we are friends  
And I'm sorry  
I'm sorry  



Sigh no more, no more
 
One foot in sea, one on shore
 
My heart was never pure 

you know me 
you know me  



And man is a giddy thing  
Oh man is a giddy thing
 
Oh man is a giddy thing 

Oh man is a giddy thing  



Love that will not betray you,
 
dismay or enslave you,
 
It will set you free 



Be more like the man 
you were made to be. 

There is a design,  
An alignment to cry, 

At my heart you see,  
The beauty of love  
as it was made to be

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.” Love you xxx

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, 

because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. 

because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last.

 stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. 

but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend,

 they can go on and on.”

Chuck Palahnuik

In India the elephants are often decorated. 

This one had two tigers on the side of its trunk.

Here now

Don't let your mind get weary and confused

Your will be still, don't try

Don't let your heart get heavy child

Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child

It's only time, it will go by

Don't look for love in faces, places

It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now

Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me

And I will try not to lose faith in you

Don't put your trust in walls

'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now 

Be here now, here now 

Be Here Now - Ray LaMontagne

Home sick.

It is a curious emotion, , this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the rollercoaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known. 

- Carson McCullers
