We all experience many freakish and unexpected events - you have to be open to suffering a little. The philosopher Schopenhauer talked about how out of the randomness, there is an apparent intention in the fate of an individual that can be glimpsed later on. When you are an old guy, you can look back, and maybe this rambling life has some through-line. Others can see it better sometimes. But when you glimpse it yourself, you see it more clearly than anyone.

But you held me to my word, And you held my gaze so tight, And you told me this is all ours. While our eyes still pool with light, This is our sweet moment, Watch the clouds skirt the sun, Watch the orange grass wrestle, The monster wind.

I don't mean what other people mean when they speak of a home, because I don't regard a home as a...well, as a place, a building...a house...of wood, bricks, stone. I think of a home as being a thing that two people have between them in which each can...well, nest.

Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

Emily Bronte

When I say, ‘I love you,’ it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You’re a hell of a person.

Joss Whedon

Love's such a delicate thing that we do, With nothing to prove, Which I never knew.

You're not alone People lie and people steal They misinterpret how you feel And so we doubt and we conceal You're not alone Don't worry for me Just think of yourself Think of yourself

Nothing you become will disappoint me; I have no preconception that I'd like to see you be or do. I have no desire to forsee you, only to discover you. You can't disappoint me

Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day whispering 'I will try again tomorrow.

I stared up at the sky and raised my middle finger, just in case God was watching. I don't like being spied on.
