Somewhere there is a place for us!

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love. Max Muller 


Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.-Barbara de Angelis




There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere.




There's a time for us,
Someday a time for us.
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care.

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving,
Somewhere.

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there, 
Somehow, someday, somewhere.

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving,
Somewhere.

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow, someday, somewhere.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
Leo Buscaglia


Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship – never.- Charles Caleb Colton


Who knows? 
It's only just out of reach, 
Down the block, on a beach, 
Under a tree. 
I got a feeling there's a miracle due, 
Gonna come true, 
Coming to me! 

Could it be? Yes, it could. 
Something's coming, something good, 
If I can wait! 
Something's coming, I don't know what it is, 
But it is 
Gonna be great! "

Nobody knows 

Nobody knows but me That I sometimes cry If I could pretend that I'm asleep When my tears start to fall I peek out from behind these walls I think nobody knows Nobody knows no Nobody likes Nobody likes to lose their inner voice The one I used to hear before my life Made a choice But I think nobody knows No no Nobody knows No 

Love is an energy which exists of itself. It is its own value.
Thornton Wilder


Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia.Judith Viorst


Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky. Rainer Maria Rilke


All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.- Dalai Lama


Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.Dalai Lama



Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. -Dalai Lama



This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama

Promises are like babies:  easy to make, hard to deliver.  ~Author Unknown

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.-E. B. White



After believing in promises made and never fulfilled by Labour, people have become increasingly disenchanted with the process assuming that all politicians will say anything to gain power, and then never follow through.
Adam Rickitt



Some judge a man by the color of his skin
They play him down till there’s nothing left for him
But to cry out in anguish, in fear and in pain
They say they can judge him, I say they’re insane
But who am I to judge?


Every thoughtful and kind-hearted person must regard with interest any device or plan which promises to enable at least the more intelligent, enterprising, and determined part of those who are not capitalists to cease to labor for hire.
Leland Stanford


I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.-John Burroughs


Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.Miguel Angel Ruiz


Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.Mel Brooks


I will not cry for you
I will not smile for you
Until that day does come
And on that day an ocean shall I cry
Till I am but an island in its midst
Then I will smile so brightly
That surely you will find me

Hey little children, don’t you cry no more
A kinder wind is blowing, soon you’ll all be warm
In a much better place than from where you were torn
Food to quench your hunger, shelter from the storm

Darkness turned to laughter
The past a souvenir
In the promise of a new day – it all became so clear

And it took away the heart of me, it opened my eyes
That you are all a part of me, stars in the sky
Like a veil lifting over me, discerning anew
I knew it wasn’t magic then,
I know that it’s you

Hey languid mama, trade away your tears
And your ocean of sadness, and your deep well of fears
See the wonder within you and I know you just might
Trade a dance of surrender, for a dance of delight

Your darkness turned to laughter
Your past a souvenir
In the promise of a new day – it all became so clear

And it took away the heart of me, it opened my eyes
That you are all a part of me, stars in the sky
Like a veil lifting over me, discerning anew
I knew it wasn’t magic then,
I know that it’s you.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.
H. L. Mencken

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
William Shakespeare

What is your guilt pleasure my friends?


And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. - William Shakespeare


Words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart.
William Shakespeare


We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.William Shakespeare

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.William Shakespeare

 

Some judge a man by his status and flair
If they say he’s no good it’s the length of his hair
Or his lack of investment in the real-estate scene
They say they can judge him, I say they’re obscene
But who am I to judge?

Some judge a man by his knowledge and wit
If he’s not into culture he’s a bit of a twit
And if he can’t tell a joke he’s a big waste of time
They say they can judge him, but they’re way out of line
But who am I to judge?

One judges men by their faith and their deeds
Even in judgment He’s aware of their needs
And He’ll never give up until all things have passed
Because then He will judge, who has judged.

To dream, to see, to know what can and should be done
To hold, so close, yet never touch that altruistic dream
Like vapors painting figures where there once was none
On canvas that reverts to just an empty scene

So white, so cold, it beckons for another stroke
From brush of who would see it in another light
To paint the vision held in never ending hope
And once again give birth to dreams in colors that will give them flight

And so the painter looks across the motions of an endless sea
To probe the waves for what they may insinuate
In total focus so that he may catch before it flees
That moment within which he will again create.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.
William Shakespeare
