Hugs to You

Happy Valentine's Day!!

...remembering...a great love...The Painted Veil.....Shall We Dance....thank you for a peaceful life--you were my riser....

Why does it hurt so much?

Mr. Morgan's Last Love:
Pauline: Why did you stop loving life?
Matthew: Well, you don't love life itself. You love, uh, places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone... who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like... like extras. They cloud your vision, they're a meaningless crowd. They... They're an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude. But solitude only makes you wither.
Pauline: So I'm an unwelcome distraction. I'm a cloud?
Matthew: You are the only part of my life I haven't figured out yet.

Tuck Everlasting:
Tuck: If there's one thing I've learned about people, it's that many will do anything, anything not to die. And they'll do anything to keep from living their life.
Tuck: What we Tucks have, you can't call it living. We just... are. We're like rocks, stuck at the side of a stream.
Tuck: Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of the un-lived life.
Winnie: I don't wanna die; is that wrong?
Tuck: No. No human does. But it-it's part of the wheel... the same as being born.

Eat, Pray, Love:
Ketut: Sometimes to lose balance for love is part of living a balanced life.

Fond Memories-Spring Garden Building Part 5

Garden # 5...Waco, TX

...perhaps 600 square feet of reworked church garden space....

Nostalgia

WELCOME new year...new memories...new adventures...new friends....

...thinking with her body, so there's a lot of spontaneous dancing involved....

...song of the day...Wichita Lineman...not sure why that one causes feelings of nostalgia!!...1968...hmmmm...perhaps it is just the melancholy sound of the song....

...what is this melancholia??...this feeling of a missed life??... when I listen--and especially...when I watch music videos of classic rock bands??...and now...I'm even feeling those feelings when listening to the new folk rock music??  Perhaps those feelings of longing...of nostalgia...are the impetus for this wonderful gypsy adventure I am on....who knows!!??  I shake off the melancholia and embrace the excitement of possibilities...helping to build a treehouse hostel in the jungle...permaculture gardening in the south of France...housesitting for a Canadian family with a view of the mountains...the opportunities are limitless!!  YAAHOO!!

The important thing isn't the house.  It's the ability to make it. You carry that in your brain and in your hands, wherever you go.... It's one thing to carry your life wherever you go. Another thing to always go looking for it somewhere else.   Animal Dreams

Greg: It doesn't matter if your kids love you or not. It's not their job to love you, it's your job to love them!
