"Dal Centro Della Mia Vita Venne Una Grande Fontana!! "
Translated:
"From the center of my life, there came a great fountain!!" ~Louise Gluck

30 years in one's life... a milestone perhaps, but it
may not be the 'center' of life to some. However, for me, these past years of my life have brought a transformation of sorts and clarity in many aspects of my life. Therefore it is here, now in what I believe to be my 'center of life', that I feel a great fountain has sprung forth hope and limitless possibilities of what I can dream & ultimately, accomplish!
~CHEERS!

Every Sunrise Offers a New Opportunity for Change!

"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Love's Test...

Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all...
so they say.
When the heartache comes, it is there to stay... for a minute, a while;
Until it is ready to leave, it continues to stroll along;
Shaking perceptions I thought I believed.
I know that time does heal all wounds,
But the journey to recapture a heart lost??
Will I forget about you soon... enough, I tell myself.
This is another form of prose all together;
One that's best tucked away and allowed to weather,
To sit and brood, and then to mellow.... Alas!

Moments stolen, thinking of you...
Night turns into day... over and over, rolling through my head they play.
Used and worn cliches dispersed like candy from friends and family...
'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'.
But at what cost do we explore this anomaly?
Let time take it's stead; it will slip away, fading from memory.
But yet I find, moments gone by, ruminate in succession;
Each one, leaving me never to be the same,
Taking it's toll on my heart, showing your lasting impression.

Quiet moments shared, long admiring stares,
Inside jokes, evenings of music's latest, greatest and even faded.
Passionate, heated, blissful memories of time and space,
Sweet nectar you were to my taste,
Feeling the love within a touch, an embrace.
Searching for answers that I have yet to find,
But somehow feeling blessed from your grace of presence in time.

Rocking my foundation, I stepped out in faith;
Only to realize it was surely a mistake.
Why do we torture ourselves so?
Gambling our heart, to win a moment in love's glow?
Yet continuing to sign up and play the game,
You take the cards you're dealt.
Life is best when it is fully lived and felt,
Chances are always going to be 50/50... iffy, at best.
Gambling again, putting up with love's test.

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
