You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere.

~buddha

her voice + her words + her passion = magic

beth hart

let the lover be

disgraceful, crazy, absentminded.

someone sober will worry 

about things going badly.

let the lover be.

~ Rumi

(images via visualize)

there’s courage involved if you want
to become truth.  there is a broken-

open place in a lover.  where are
those qualities of bravery and sharp

compassion in this group?  what’s the
use of old and frozen thought?  i want

a howling hurt.  this is not a treasury
where gold is stored; this is for copper.

we alchemists look for talent that
can heat up and change.  lukewarm

won’t do. halfhearted holding back,
well-enough getting by?  not here.

~rumi

i wanna touch the earth
i wanna break it in my hands
i wanna grow something wild and unruly

i wanna sleep on the hard ground
in the comfort of your arms
on a pillow of bluebonnets
in a blanket made of stars

i wanna walk and not run
i wanna skip and not fall
i wanna look at the horizon
and not see a building standing tall

i wanna be the only one
for miles and miles
except for maybe you
and your simple smile

~ dixie chicks said it all in a song

to love a person is to learn the song in their heart

and sing it back to them

when they have forgotten the words.
