Is this burning

an eternal flame?

The calm before the storm

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Many times, when something occurs, we think that it should not have happened this particular way. That is why we think - when we experience defeat, the death of a beloved one... -, that everything has finished. But that is not true. That is, always, a new beginning, because greatness is reached, not when everything goes well, but when we have been deceived, when sadness has invaded you, when life expects too much of you. Therefore, only when being in the greatest depth of the valley, can one know the magnificence of standing on the peak of the mountain.

Filthy water cannot be washed

From too much love of living,

From hope and fear set free,

We thank with brief thanksgiving,

Whatever Gods may be

That no man lives forever,

That dead men rise up never;

That even the weariest river

Winds somewhere safe to sea.

The Garden of Proserpine

I guess time

makes me live without you

The creation of beauty is art

It is Christmas in the heart

that puts Christmas in the air

Heap on the wood - the wind is chill;

But let it whistle as it will

We'll keep our Christmas merry still.

Are you hoping for a miracle?

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour

William Blake

Man is what he believes

- The sad truth is the truth is sad -

Who needs a heart

when a heart can be broken?

When the night falls, my heart falls

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.
