Kahlil Gibran on Marriage

On Marriage

 Kahlil GibranYou were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
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.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Music & Lyrics: Dolly Parton - Together You and I - With Dedication to TRDG

Together You And I by Dolly Parton Listen on Posterous

My love for you is deeper than the depths of any ocean, And as faithful as the stars that grace the night, As constant as the sun making its journey through heavens, and we'll always be together you and I. [Chorus] Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine. Paint a pretty rainbow, brushed with love across the sky, Together you and I belong, like a songbird and a song and we'll always be together you and I Life with you is sweeter than the fragrance of the flowers And as happy as the laughter of a child As peaceful as a river and as lasting as forever
you know we'll always be together you and I [Chorus] I always be beside or close behind you. Wherever you go, you'll always know I'll always find you [Chorus] We'll always be together, you and I Forever together, forever you and I (forever you and I) Forever together, together you and I will always be (together, together) Together, you and I...

Gracie Fields - Wish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye)

WWII RADIO SONG AS PERFORMED BY THE OVALTINEYS & GRACIE FIELDS

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go, on my way.

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.
With a cheer, not a tear,make it gay.

Give me a smile,I can keep for a while,
In my heart while I'm away.

Till we meet once again you and I,
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
Cheerio, here I go, on my way

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay

Give me a smile, I can keep for a while,
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again You and I

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye

Music & Lyrics: ONE LAST TRY ~ Ane Brun @anebun

I wish I had one last try
hidden somewhere inside
but it’s all been spent before

When I reach for it
I can sense it in my hand
and when I try to grasp it it’s like sand – or water through my hopeful fingers

This just won’t hold – hold
This just won’t hold – hold

There’s something so half-full about us
we get so little but what we get it tastes so much
we’re always longing for more

Is this the end of the thread?
the thread that led me to loose my head over something that started with wonder

This just won’t hold – hold...

And even if a butterfly lives a hundred years
Or the stream of water turns around in the rivers

You and me – we’ll still be the same
You and me – we’ll still be the same

My Recurring Dream

My friendly crow - dream diary...

The first part of the dream saw me freaking out at the thought of having a dozen large stag-bettles in jeans pocket which I had happily bought in the pet shop earlier that day. I ran into my childhood garden and took off my jeans outside, shaking them to get the beattles out. They scattered out of the pocket; they were dead.

Then, I dreamed I found a dead crow in the garden of my childhood home. I brought the dead crow in and he was in a plastic bag. The next part of the dream showed me that my father had washed the crow in the kitchen sink and left it to dry on the draining board. Miraculously, after the crow dried out, he became ALIVE. He and I bonded and he was a friendly crow. I fed him cat biscuits and sliced turkey which he ate in quite a hungry cat-like way, focussing on getting at the meat first. He wanted more but my mother let him out and he flew away. I hoped he would do well, my friend the crow.

Then I was woken up.

Although strange, it felt a significant dream and very vivid on waking up. The dream was hazy and in black and white.

Photo: Teen Angst ~ a Graffiti Love Plea

Written on a handrail, this angst-ridden teen love graffiti was found today in Penarth, on the steep steps above the esplanade (near the Bay Leaf Restaurant) leading to Alexandra Park. Transcription below...

"Mickey, I'll be easy going, you can do what you want, see the boys as much as you want, I'll never hit you except in play-fights where I batter you! When I look into your eyes I know what I want, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know I've messed up but please I'll do whatever you want. You will always be my best friend and I won't control you, I'll never give up on you, and if turtlepillar does die completely then I'll still come down here and think of you. I can't live without you, it's so hard to know that you're not mine. Please don't give up on me baby. I want you so badly, I love you xxxx"

Who's Mickey? Who wrote this? More curiously, who (or what) is 'turtlepillar?' contra omnia discrimina
