Day 1:
“This is not a good idea”, she said to herself.
He gazed into her eyes and her heart was gripped in fear, “Oh no it’s not”.
She quickly shifted her gaze, picked up her bag and left.
For days the gaze and what she felt stayed with her. This was unlike her.
Day 12:
She sat beside him and talked about mundane things.
It was an easy conversation filled with laughter.
They ate and talked and in the midst of it all she forgot all her fears.
“This is fun”, she said.
Occasionally they caught each others eyes and smiled
As the sun set it was time to leave.
Picking up her bags she hugged him goodbye
He took her in his arms and as she moved away she gazed into his eyes...
"This is not a good idea", she said, "Oh no it's not"……..
Up the ladder we all go…
Down the ladder someone awaits.
A quick glance and the world changes – a passing thought, a sweet memory.
Who we are and what we need lies not at the farthest distant
In me, there is yesterday
In me, lies tomorrow.
A skip, a hop,
A strut, a sprint,
Fast but not avoiding the stops, this is how I move
Halt and breathe
I run again
Closer to where I need to be, not further from where I stand
Up the ladder I go…
Alice in Wonderland
Off with her head!

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Alboom
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
If you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too; even when you are in the dark; even when you're falling.

What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only women in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than anything in the world.

.... and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only.

...love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love …
