I’m off on my adventure. I’m a northern gal living in the south and learning to say things like “ya’ll.” Books, quotes, flowers, CS Lewis, Better than Ezra, food, coffee, and movies. And yarn. Lots of yarn. And I love Poland.Tumblr (3.0; @dream0nstars)http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/43eccf79bf897b374d5de0d73d849604/tumblr_mn2015LsUx1qzswn9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>One last breakfast.</p>http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/50828265808http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/50828265808Sun, 19 May 2013 12:19:53 -0400“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.openroadmedia.com/jonathan-carroll">Jonathan Carroll</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://browndresswithwhitedots.tumblr.com/">browndresswithwhitedots</a>)</em>http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/49406186948http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/49406186948Wed, 01 May 2013 21:54:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/89a05f97b55c66a86a331e2e24ce484f/tumblr_mlo72le25f1qzswn9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is my 3rd cup of coffee, I’m making graphs, and I’m tired.

The word ’fall’ is not right. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love. Somehow they were managing and standing. They cannot manage and they cannot stand – they find a woman and they are gone, they find a man and they are gone. They were always ready to fall on the ground and to creep. They don’t have the backbone, the spine; they don’t have that integrity to stand alone.</p> <p><br/> A mature person has the integrity to be alone. And when a mature person gives love, he gives without any strings attached to it: he simply gives. And when a mature person gives love, he feels grateful that you have accepted his love, not vice versa. He does not expect you to be thankful for it – no, not at all, he does not even need your thanks. He thanks you for accepting his love. And when two mature persons are in love, one of the greatest paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena: they are together and yet tremendously alone; they are together so much so that they are almost one. But their oneness does not destroy their individuality, in fact, it enhances it: they become more individual.</p> <p><br/> Two mature persons in love help each other to become more free. There is no politics involved, no diplomacy, no effort to dominate. How can you dominate the person you love? Just think over it. Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity. How can you think of dominating a person you love? You would love to see the person totally free, independent; you will give him more individuality. That’s why I call it the greatest paradox: they are together so much so that they are almost one, but still in that oneness they are individuals. Their individualities are not effaced – they have become more enhanced. The other has enriched them as far as their freedom is concerned.</p> <p><br/> Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Osho (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://verthandi.tumblr.com/">verthandi</a>) <p>This is the kind of love I love.</p></em>http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/42255269346http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/42255269346Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:11:28 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/737360daa14037f35e9259629298154e/tumblr_mf6lp346rx1r34qiso1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/42241339119http://dream0nstars.tumblr.com/post/42241339119Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:12:28 -0500
