The thread of Life.

You said you liked storms.
Turns out you can only handle a little rain
and I am a Hurricane.

"I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again" ~ Helen Reddy

No kidding? Helen Reddy?!

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot.
All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest.
Grief is just love with no place to go.”

~Jamie Anderson~

“Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.”

― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

And since I put in such a dark weighty quote... I will also add this....

The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway.

My favorite work of his.

My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.

"How sweet the answer Echo makes To music at night,
When, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
And far away, o'er lawns and lakes, Goes answering light."

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:

- The Merchant of Venice, Act IV, Scene William Shakespeare

"Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind
and dance upon the mountains like a flame!" ~ William Butler Yeats

“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.” ~Rumi

But the birds that sing do worry. They are singing to communicate and worry that what they are saying will not be heard or heeded. Why do you think the sing at all, if not for love, fear, hope?

"We all change. When you think about it, we are all different people all through our lives. And that's okay. That's good. You gotta keep moving. So long as you remember all the people you used to be."
