Random Thoughts...

"I construct elaborate protective devices against the world, but from time to time someone comes along who walks right through these defences, utterly unaware of them. When this happens, I have a sense of being on the edge of life itself, where amazing things can occur- and usually do. I realise that the door is open for hurt and rejection, but also for sharing and growing.

Is there any miracle on earth to compare with that of discovering a new friend, or having that friend discover you? So much is at stake, but I will gladly risk everything to give a promising relationship a chance."

~ Alex Noble
"Moments of Stillness"

"Shakespeare, Leaonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio or looked at television. They had 'loneliness' and knew what to do with it. They were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the crative mood in them would work."

~ Carl Sandberg

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learnt that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
