Black Flies on The Windowsill

QUOTE OF THE DAY

 

The painful realization when you see the mask fall off

and you find yourself  looking into empty eyes and a cold heart

and you wonder, "Was it always like this but I was too blind to see the truth?"

Hello Beautiful World!

what follows is a beautiful quote I found many years ago by the Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges

and has become part of my profile since then...

"After a while you learn

the subtle difference between

holding a hand and chaining a soul

and you learn

that love doesn’t mean leaning

and company doesn’t always mean security.

And you begin to learn

that kisses aren’t contracts

and presents aren’t promises

and you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes ahead

with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child

and you learn

to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow’s ground is

too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down

in mid-flight.

After a while you learn

that even sunshine burns

if you get too much

so you plant your own garden

and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone

to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure

you really are strong

you really do have worth

and you learn

and you learn

with every goodbye, you learn…"

People come and people go, and yes, I can honestly say that from every person I ever met in my life,

there was always something to learn from them. I wish I could say all the lessons they left behind

were beautiful ones that left a smile in my heart. There are those who, instead of smiles

left behind tears and feelings of shame, regret, and worthiness, and having been used.

Still, all lessons are good in the end, so all I have to say to that is, 

thank you life, lesson well learned! Now, let's move on because life is too short and it waits for no one.

I leave you now with another quote that you can also find in my profile.

Have a beautiful day!

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”
