Updates coming!

Over the next few days, please note that I'll be blogging my journal entries from Amsterdam and hopefully a few new ramblings for good measure.

Forgive me for the delay. Photos will also be included. Love to all.

Quotes

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. - from The Little Prince

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways inwhich you yourself have altered. - Nelson Mandela

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. - Charles M. Schulz

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana

Out of clutter ... find simplicity. From discord . . . find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.- Albert Einstein

I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less. - Eddie Izzard

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.-Emily Dickinson

What we Think we Become - Ghandi

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love was the cost? Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind. - Barenaked Ladies

It takes a grownup to find it, but a child's state of mind. I suppose that's the beauty of this planet: that we need one another to survive. - Martha Porter

Writings

A few random writings from my adventures abroad:

9 March 2010

In a perfect world no one would ever feel alone, no one would ever cry and no one would know the joy that is going out on your own and making a life from nothing. I think I prefer the imperfect.

12 March 2010

I used to be an artist. I used to dream. Then one day my dreams became reality and I stopped dreaming. The problem is I stopped dreaming but didn't start living. Then I realized that you can't live without dreams and you can't follow your dreams without living. That's when I realized I still am an artist, just not creating it. I'm living it.

When we look into the past

What is it that we see?

Is it the moments that bring a smile

Or moments that haunt our very being?

Do we analyze the events

Or simply accept their outcomes?

Do we cry over lost chances

Or smile over found ones?

Is the past simply a period of time

Or is it a state of being.

When one 'lives in the past'

What is it they are doing?
