No prices for guessing that this is about SSA :)
SO love happens in the strangest of ways ......I had heard about that a lot but when it actually happened to me , the process was just as amazing. I guess this is one instance where clichés do not hold. The experience is just as magical every time :)
Thank you SSA for becoming a part of my life ....for making it beautiful! Thank you for The little things that you do - even when I am blind enough not to appreciate them . Thank you for your patience : )
I LOVE YOU

FACES OF BLISS

This moment I sit back and wonder,
About the many faces of bliss in all its splendor;
What it means to us differs so,
Through the years as we grow;
The melody from the overhead jingle
In a newborn’s cot so often brings on a dimple;
The flying plane, the lovely doll
Make a little bundle’s joy whole;
So simple yet so complete
As bliss adds color to life’s pictures ever neat.

Then as the years go by, desires change,
New feelings bring joy to little saints;
Friends make our families complete,
Companionship fulfills our heart's needs;
The search for our soul’s mate soon begins,
It’s just a matter of time before the bells ring;
Some do early, others take time to meet,
The joy nevertheless touches every heart’s beats.

This moment I feel what bliss means to me,
As I lay in your arms under the canopy of palm trees;
stars are shining at their brightest,
clouds attempting to hide them just the slightest;
A beautiful song fills the background,
and with every note, love resounds;
The soothing caress of the ocean breeze,
In this moment time seems to freeze;
Many more magical moments the morrow will bring,
and with this thought my heart sings;
life will bring joy in many more ways,
as love abounds, happiness is here to stay.

Kahlil Gibran : On Marriage

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.


Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.


Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Soulmates

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Ba al Shem Tov

We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
- Luciano de Crescenzo

My lifetime listens to yours.
-Muriel Ruckeyser

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
Not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
They're in each other all along.
- Rumi

Love consists of this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
- Rainer Maria Rilke

Optimism

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines optimism as a doctrine that this world is the best possible world or alternatively to expect the best possible outcome. I see it as a win - win attitude:) Just a few thoughts that struck me......

"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
-Maya Angelou

“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.”
-Peace Pilgrim

“I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else.”
-Earl Weaver

THE JOY OF FRIENDSHIP :)

An escape from the life's morose drone
it's a treasure that none can clone
the gateway to happiness it opens wide
you wont be alone in it's stride
Such is the joy of friendship!

The mellifluous laughter and shared smiles
multiply the joy a million times
life's numerous temptations and it's killing pace
all is borne as far as friendship stays
Such is the joy of friendship!

The magic that soothes an ailing soul
the feeling that makes each one of us whole
it's music in the midst of life's cacophony
replacing every hurt with Ecstasy
Such is the joy of friendship!

No matter what dreams and lessons life brings
or what new bonds time brings
friends' hearts always keep up with life's pace
the love and joy none can replace
To all my friends that make my life complete
this is an ode to thee.
The joy of friendship!


-------TO ALL MY FRIENDS - THANKS FOR BEING THERE-------------------

Looking up!

Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. ~Woody Allen


Here I am writing after a long hiatus. Life changes and how! Lots of good things have happened and yet challenges remain , new ones replacing the old. The ecstasy of being with the one I love yet with the heartbreak of being away from those I have loved all my life. At this time one thought makes me go on - life's events turn out in the direction that one looks....the one choice that is always in our hands. The choice of our vision and our direction. I have already made mine ...Looking up :)

Small steps make way for huge leaps
