Transient Dreams

“ I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

“ You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

“ I found out I was in love with you, winter before last,” she said. “I wasn’t going to say anything about it because—well, you know. If you’d felt anything like that for me, you’d have known I did. But it wasn’t both of us. So there was no good in it. But then, when you told us you’re leaving … At first I thought, all the more reason to say nothing. But then I thought, that wouldn’t be fair. To me, partly. Love has a right to be spoken. And you have a right to know that somebody loves you. That somebody has loved you, could love you. We all need to know that. Maybe it’s what we need most. So I wanted to tell you. And because I was afraid you thought I’d kept away from you because I didn’t love you, or care about you, you know. It might have looked like that. But it wasn’t that. Isidri, A Fisherman of the Inland Sea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Simple Things in Life

Be brave.
Even if you’re not, pretend to be.
No one can tell the difference.

When playing games with children, let them win.

When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go

Wave at children on a school bus.

Keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table.
Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 AM.

Look people in the eye.

Compliment the meal when you are a guest in someone’s house.

Believe that life is fair even if it’s hard.

The First Time I Loved Forever

Sung by Lisa Angelle
Lyrics by Melanie Safka
Poem by E. E. Cummings

Somewhere I have never traveled
Gladly beyond any experience
Your eyes have their silence
And your most frail gesture of things
Which enclose me
But which I cannot touch
Because they are too near.

The first time I loved forever
Was when you whispered my name
And I knew at once you loved me
For the me of who I am

The first time I loved forever
I cast all else aside
And I bid my heart to follow
Be there no more need to hide

And if wishes and dreams
Are merely for children
And if love’s a tale for fools
I’ll live the dream with you

Oh, if your words be to close me
I, my life will shut, very beautifully
Suddenly, as when the heart of this flower
Imagines the snow carefully, everywhere
descending.

For all my life and forever
There’s a truth I will always know
When my world divides and shatters
Your love is where I’ll go

I do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens. Only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.
Nobody, not even the rain has such small hands.

“ Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there. Prof. Gerald Lambeau, Good Will Hunting (1997)

The Corrs: Make You Mine

Wondering, waiting for the day to fade away
So I can hold you once again and chase the fears away

Lie with me
Show me how you feel
I’m falling for you deeper everyday

When the night turns over
I’ll lie with you
When the morning wakes you
I’m there by you
When the daylight takes you
I’ll miss you
Til you come back home to me
And I can make you mine oh mine

Wanting you
Every waking moment I’m on fire - I’m on fire -
Always needing you
I’m aching for you only I’ll never tire

Promise me
This is how we’ll be
I’m falling deeper everyday

When the night turns over I’ll lie with you
When the morning wakes you
I’m there by you
When the daylight takes you
I’ll miss you til you come back home to me
When you come back home to me

I’ll break you
I’ll chase you
You’ll find that you can’t stand to be away
Not for a day - not for a day… -
Oh and when life defies you
I’ll be the soul
You’ll never go astray…
And you’ll be mine, mine, mine, mine, mine…

- Fly with me, loose reality -
I’m falling deeper everyday
So when the night turns over
I’ll lie with you
And when the morning wakes you
I’m there for you
When the daylight takes you
I’ll miss you
Til you come back home to me
And I can make you mine
When the night turns over
I’ll lie with you
When the morning wakes you
I’m there by you
When the daylight takes you
I’ll miss you til you come back home to me
And I can make you mine mine, mine, oh mine
Oh mine…
