Come out of the question and be. If this is gonna run 'round in my head, I might as well be dreaming. Run 'round in my head... I roller coaster for you. Time out of mind must be heavenly. It's all enchanted and wild-- just like my heart said it was gonna be." |

Fireworks making love to the night sky...

A really great book that sticks with you for days. My mom's voice (that one made me tear up a little!) Dreaming big goals. "Big" dreams (the ones you have at night that explain something in real life). My wedgewood necklace charm that I bought after my grandma died (she had all this wedgewood stuff at her house). Now I can keep her with me all the time The gold bracelet from Dave's wedding because it reminds me of my siblings. Getting a super scared little kid at work to smile. Playing sports. Cooking new things- and having them turn out damn good! Drinking coffee with you out of crystal wine glasses! (I really loved that morning). My bed (God, I love the shit out of that). Meg R. Knowing that I get to see my sister almost every morning when we go to the gym together. Masts clanging in the harbor (I copied the other Erin). My house slippers (I have even brought them to Denver). The front porch at my Michigan house. Cherry pie for breakfast the last day of vacation in Door County. Cuddling. Laying in bed and chatting (naked and clothed). The warm sun all over me on the beach in Michigan. And taking a nap wrapped in it! How surprisingly easy this list is to write. Crushing on someone and knowing they like you back. Getting into bed with just shaved legs. Seeing the people I love succeed. Being there for a patient. My mom's Christmas cookies. When my brother makes me tea. Taking a good dump. And singing about it! Your blog. No really, I check it fairly often. Cereal and good milk. Juicy fruit--pineapple, peaches, blueberries, cherries. Celebrating the power of life. Yoga. My ticket to CHINA!   Dancing...  "Sometimes I praise love; sometimes love praises me."--Rumi   http://flawlesslyundone.tumblr.com/page/86  This Kind of Love by Sister Hazel "This kind of love makes me feel ten feet tall. It makes all my problems fall. This kind of trust helps me to hold the line. I'll be there every time. This kind of love--it's what I dreamed about. Yeah, it fills me up. Baby, it leaves no doubt. This kind of love--it's why I'm standing here. It's something that we can share. I can't enough of this kind of love. This kind of hope is what I tried to find. And now I can't deny I believe. This kind of faith is so unshakeable. It's unmistakable. It's bigger than me. This kind of love--it's what I dreamed about. Yeah, it fills me up. Baby, it leaves no doubt. This kind of love--it's why I'm standing here. It's something that we can share. I can't enough of this kind of love. Your love can move a mountain. It makes my world go round. It's always there to guide me. I'm so lucky that I found... ...this kind of love."  "Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving."--Kahlil Gibran   Here I love You by Pablo Neruda "Here I love you. In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself. The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters. Days, all one kind, go chasing each other. The snow unfurls in dancing figures. A silver gull slips down from the west. Sometimes a sail. High, high stars. Oh the black cross of a ship. Alone. Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet. Far away the sea sounds and resounds. This is a port. Here I love you. Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain. I love you still among these cold things. Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels that cross the sea towards no arrival. I see myself forgotten like those old anchors. The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there. My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose. I love what I do not have. You are so far. My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights. But night comes and starts to sing to me. The moon turns its clockwork dream. The biggest stars look at me with your eyes. And as I love you, the pines in the wind want to sing your name with their leaves of wire." Florence, Italy   Now go love on somebody, for Pete's sake! |
