“I don't like reminiscing / Nostalgia is not my forté / I don’t spill tears / On yesterday’s years / But honesty makes me say, / You were a precious pearl / How I loved to see you shine, / You were the perfect girl. / And you were mine. / For a time. / For a time. / Just for a time.”

Maya Angelou, 'Love’s Exquisite Freedom'

"We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.

Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love’s light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free."

Ho imparato che puoi capire molto di una persona dal modo il cui questa gestisce queste tre cose: giornate piovose, bagaglio smarrito, e luci di Natale ingarbugliate.
