I love you more than you will ever know I love you no matter what you do I’m gonna hold you as long as you will let me ‘Cause you’re mine, I love you

“You don't spell love, you feel it” replied Pooh

Running wild in the open plains for miles and miles in the pourin’ rain and you got nowhere to be but on this Diamond Road with me

you travel lite and you travel fast no slowing down, no turnin’ back you got nowhere you got to be on this Diamond Road with me

And your heart aches to save your kind to turn the water into wine Oh hold onto your dreams On this Diamond Road with me

I know all you want all you want is me & i know all your dreams are fire i know all want is to be free uncontrolled & wild

so hold on if you dare keep holding if you dare keep holding on if you dare oh, i’m bringing you   somewhere…

These old roads twist like a vine and the future hides behind the veil of time don’t worry now if you can’t see on this Diamond Road with me

I know all you want all you want is me & i know all your dreams are fire i know all want is to be free uncontrolled & wild

so keep on moving on if you dare keep on moving on if you dare keep on moving on if you dare oh, i’m bringing you   somewhere…

“To live will be an awfully big adventure." -Peter Pan

"One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts—just mere thoughts—are as powerful as electric batteries—as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live... surprising things can happen to any one who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place.

“The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.” -Carl Sagan

Baby Nova, you’re made of star-stuff

[coraruthjohn]

Surrender don't come natural to me I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want Than to take what you give that I need And I've beat my head against so many walls Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn And Your grace rings out so deep It makes my resistance seem so thin Rich Mullins

[coraruthjohn]

You've got a tender heart A tender heart, so true And you've felt it torn apart Broken into two

Cause sometimes the world can be so cold and cruel to you and me And sometimes it's hard to sea beyond the sea of casualty

But don't trade your innocence for a fence of stone Keep the child inside alive Oh keep your heart a home Keep your heart a home

Deep down in your soul Beyond the wall of stone There's a voice calling you Calling you back home

Cause sometimes it's easier To be bitter Than to forgive But until we learn to die You and I Will never live

Keep your heart open, Keep your heart hoping...

There are days that are long, bitter and cold. Wintery. You look for the good to hold onto, to endure until the spring.

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmos. Her name is to be Nova, she is made of starstuff indeed.
