In others' words
In the mood to Quote :
"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
- Charlotte
Excerpt from 'Charlotte's Web' , a book than can be read over and over again, and each time one gets a different reading of it, a different perspective....
...And a bit of poetry..... for the soul :
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses;
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while,
then closes Within a dream
- Ernest Dowson
And the revelation of the day just has to be :
"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do
with the time we have rushed through life trying to save."
- Will Rogers
My sincere thanks to all the amazing people i've quoted...It's the kind of thing one reads and wishes one had written...in any case, i'm glad i got to at least chance upon these words...last but not least,i hope i don't get sued for this.
Thought of the day :
So what am i doing...
why am i doing what i'm doing
and more importantly
why am i not doing what i'm not doing?
And its such a simple question.
Sometimes it feels good to not think about yourself,your life, to not write your own words and express your own thoughts..it might take conscious and concerted effort, coz we are all self-absorbed to at least a small extent...to deny it would be disillusioned,dishonest or simply saintly.(see, i'm not an incurable cynic!)
Inspiration/Aspiration of (time period not specified) :
To think for myself more
and about myself,less
To take more time out from my own life
To ask/want/demand less for myself
To pray for others more
To ask of others less
To give off myself more
Well...i'm done fr now i guess..
That's about it...more or less.
