The falling leaves Drift by the window The autumn leaves All red and gold I see your lips The summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold. Since you went away The days grow long... And soon I'll hear Old winter songs But I miss you most of all My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall... C'est une chanson Qui nous ressemble Toi qui m'aimais Et je t'aimais Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble Tou qui m'aimais Moi qui t'aimais Mais la vie sépare Ceux qui s'aiment Tout doucement Sans faire de bruit Et la mer efface sur le sable Les pas des amants désunis. Since you went away The days grow long... And soon I'll hear Old winter songs But I miss you most of all My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...

I love you much (most beautiful darling) more than anyone on the earth and I like you better than anything in the sky -E.E. Cummings

What you do to me. Wanting me to take you. My fingers in your hair. The things you say:

Oh, I do desire you, baby, I do. 

Suddenly my world is alright again. -E.E. Cummings.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness ~ Woody Allen

This really happened. Amazing. Dream come true. No idea my friend would be treating us to a private concert for his 50th birthday party.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

A day will come when you will be stirred by unexpected events. A part of you will die and you will begin to search for the elixir that will bring this part of you back to life. You will seek the elixir in friends, lovers, enemies, books, religions, foreign countries, hero's, songs, rituals and jobs, but no matter where you look the treasure will evade you.  All will seem lost and you will lose all hope that this magic potion even exists. This will be the darkest of nights and the promise of certain death will lead you to the abyss of despair. But staring into the abyss you will see the dim light of your own illumined soul.  Your radiance will transform the abyss into the elusive elixir of life and for the first time you will realize that all the while it is your own light that you've been searching for. - Jackson Kiddard

Can't believe it's almost been a year since I was in Munich for DLD. Taio Cruz was a super fun way to end the conference in Germany and get us motivated for our meetings in Switzerland.

“One day you fall for this boy. And he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him. And it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass.”  ― Maureen Medved, The Tracey Fragments

“Mad Girl's Love Song I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)”  -Sylvia Plath
