Henry Ellis

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

The Winter's Tale

"When you do dance, I wish you
A wave o' th' sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that."

La Cinqua Terre - 2006

Last Goodbye

You're singing a song that's been stuck in your head
but I'll tell you how we'll both make it through to the end

And then you will see that I love you
you'll rest with me all our nights
you see, I know a place where your heart can be safe
and you've said your last goodbye


Nicky Mehta - SOCAN 2009

Once

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice

You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud



-Glen Hansard

Sounds like a party!

Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving, it doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.

Rumi

Hafiz

One regret, dear world,
That I am determined not to have
When I am lying on my deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough.

Just Breathe

Love never ends.

You can shed tears that he is gone

Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

The Prophet

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Khalil Gibran 

friendship

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. 




Shakespeare, William

The Gift of Hafiz

Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.

I met Tom Shadyac last week during a screening of this documentary.  What a great guy, with a great film.  You may wonder why I include this in my 2 weeks of LOVE posts... it's because that's the answer to the question posed by this documentary, and the only word missing from the title.
