Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning.

+++“When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.”

©J.M. Barrie

+++O, here
+++Will I set up my everlasting rest,
+++And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
+++From this world-wearied flesh! Eyes, look your last!
+++Arms, take your last embrace! And, lips, O you
+++The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
+++A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

These violet delights have violent ends+++
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.+++
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest homey+++
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness+++
And in the taste confounds the appetite.+++
Therefore love moderately: long love doth so:+++
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.+++

©William Shakespeare

Inside the snow globe on my father's desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, “Don't worry, Susie; he has a nice life. He's trapped in a perfect world.”

time, truth, & heart

Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.

+++Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
+++Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
+++While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
+++As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
+++`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
+++Only this, and nothing more.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting+++
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;+++
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,+++
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;+++
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor+++
Shall be lifted - nevermore!+++

©Edgar Allan Poe

“There are four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same:

Only love.”+++

©Johnny Depp

Quod me netrit me destruit.

What nourishes me also destroys me.

+++“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
+++“To talk of many things:
+++Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax
+++Of cabbages and kings
+++And why the sea is boiling hot
+++And whether pigs have wings.”

“But wait a bit,” the Oysters cried,+++
“Before we have our chat;+++
For some of us are out of breath,+++
And all of us are fat!”+++
“No hurry!" said the Carpenter.+++
They thanked him much for that.+++

“We can lift ourselves out of ignorance,++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.”

+++When adults say, “Teenagers think they are invincible”
+++with that sly, stupid smile on their faces,
+++they don't know how right they are.
+++We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken.
+++We think that we are invincible because we are.
+++We cannot be born, and we cannot die

Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes+++
and manifestations. They forget that when they get old.+++
They get scared of losing and failing.+++
But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin+++
and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.+++

I don't know where there is,
but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.

+++Molly, a person who can be described by many things.
+++She is a person that can make anyone smile and shine.
+++Whether that is with her words or just her presence,
+++it's amazing.

She strikes me as one of these people that will never grow old,+++
always staying young and free.+++
Like she is truly from Neverland, a real life Peter Pan.+++
Her imagination is beyond this world, you can see what+++
she says clearly in your mind. +++
Molly is amazing and wonderful and you couldn't+++
get a better person to help you.+++
