miss quoting

Comments (0) Filed under: Commonplace Book

I just realized I lost my random quotes from my Wordpress layout. Here is one from the Dalai Lama to keep in the forefront of the mind:

Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’

Aedh wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Comments (0) Filed under: Commonplace Book

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats
from The Wind Among the Reeds  (1899)
