And because I am now obsessed with David Whyte
SWEET DARKNESS
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize it own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

People would really trust article submit service, because this is not hard to take the article submission guide for such kind of top thought close to this good topic.
Have you heard David read? I love his “Poetry and the Imagination.” I bought it as a cassette tape to listen to from Kripalu Yoga Center many years ago (when one could actually find something to listen to cassette tapes on readily). His voice is so rich and playful. I highly recommend it!
Happy Happy Joy Joy to you, friend!

I cannot believe this is true!
Hey I love the blog. I’ve been looking for more information on Foreclosure Process and I was wondering if you have any good tips or pointers? I’m getting ready to move and I need all the information I can get. Thanks!
Hey, ok, I get it, I guess – but does this really work?
Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.
I cannot believe this will work!

Damn, that sound’s so easy if you think about it.
