Soulmates, By Chance

“I have been…
 To every depth of my heart
 To every height of my mind
 To every extent of my world
 I see only one name
It’s yours…”
 ― Heenashree Khandelwal, Soulmates, By Chance

You Are Here

I remember you smoking your cigarette and smiling.  I remember you biting your lip trying not to laugh.  I remember your hair pulled back.  And I remember your quietness. I miss touching you, Lena, but I feel you with me.  By some strange miracle, you are here.

Seize the Night

“Her beauty is not just—or even primarily—physical. In her face, I see her wisdom, her compassion, her courage, her eternal glory. This other beauty, this spiritual beauty—which is the deepest truth of her—sustains me in times of fear and despair, as other truths might sustain a priest enduring martyrdom at the hands of a tyrant. I see nothing blasphemous in equating her grace with the mercy of God, for the one is a reflection of the other. The selfless love that we give to others to the point of being willing to sacrifice our lives for them, is all the proof I need that human beings are not mere animals of self-interest; we carry within us a divine spark, and if we chose to recognize it, our lives have dignity, meaning, hope. In her it is spark is bright, a light that heals rather than wounds me.”—Dean Koontz, Seize the Night

Under the Sunlit Sky

“And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many.”― J.R.R. Tolkien

Be Not Ashamed

“Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.”― Walt Whitman

A Woman's Heart

If You Remember Me

“If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.”― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

She Walks in Beauty Like the Night

“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes...”
― George Gordon Byron

Ligeia

“In beauty of face no maiden ever equaled her. It was the radiance of an opium-dream - an airy and spirit-lifting vision more wildly divine than the fantasies which hovered about the slumbering souls of the daughters of Delos.”― Edgar Allan Poe, Ligeia

There is Nothing More Rare

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.”― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Absolute Beginners




“Nothing much can happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
That's all I really need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
And if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed”
—David Bowie, Absolute Beginners
