"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days—three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
-John Keats, Letter to Fanny Brawne, July 1, 1819-

"The earth laughs in flowers."
-E. E. Cummings-

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.-

‘Just living is not enough,’ said the butterfly. ‘One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower’.
-Hans Christian Anderson-

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
-George Eliot-

-Quote: Oscar Wilde-

Love & Life

Love

Love is an untamed force.

When we try to control it, it destroys us.

When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.

When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.


And yet...we can't live without it

Life

Join with those who sing songs, tell stories, enjoy life … because happiness is contagious.

Join those who walk with their heads high even when they have tears in their eyes.


Love and life....you can't have one without the other.

Stay true to your heart

The most common form of despair is not being who you are.





-Quote: Søren Aabye Kierkegaard-

Rest in peace granny my love

Blaka rosu now ye gwe
Tjari mi go na ini yu ati
A wansi san psa mi sa memre yu
Ini a dipi fu mi ati
Sonte prakseri den neti
Mi tu ai trowe watra
Na tap a doti pe mi nanga yu
Pe mi nanga yu ben bosi brasa

Black rose now you're gone
Bring me along in your heart
Whatever happens I shall remember you
In the deapths of my heart
When I think about you at night
Tears fill up my eyes
At that place where you and I
Where you and I kissed and hugged


Rest in peace my love. One day we will meet again.
But untill that day comes I shall remember and miss you.
You were an angel on earth and now you're an angel in heaven.
May God rest your soul.

-Surinamese song: Lieve Hugo - Blaka rosoe-

Song of the flower

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn.

At dawn I unite with the breeze
To announce the coming of light;
At eventide I join the birds
In bidding the light farewell.

The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
Is scented with my fragrance.

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
Night watch over me, and as I
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is
The only eye of the day.

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.

I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.

-Poem: Khalil Gibran-

Once upon a time

There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart....

Springtime reminds me of you

The trees and the flowers bring back all those hours
And the springtime reminds me of you

The song of a bird recalls every word
And tells of the joys we knew

Though we laughed for a while, too soon we had to part
And your song and your smile are forever in my heart

For the blue of the skies is the blue of your eyes
And the springtime reminds me of you.

-Song: Springtime reminds me of you by Maurice Winnick & his Band (vocals : Al Bowlly)-
