You must be careful, careful about calling people out of their names, using racial pejoratives and sexual pejoratives and all that ignorance. This morning I found sand in my shoe and a seashell in my pocket. We made satisfying small talk and laughed. “I dreamt we walked together along the shore. “Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.” “Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.” “If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform a million realities.” “To those who have given up on love: I say, “Trust life a little bit.” For now though, from my scrolling through quotations on Goodreads, here are some more which really move me that I wanted to share with you. I would really like to read more poetry and the memoirs of this ‘phenomenal’ woman in the very near future. I definitely think Barack Obama was on the money when he described her earlier as the ‘brightest light’. I guess they just don’t hold as much substance for me as they would coming from the lips, or the quell, of someone like Maya Angelou. I would write most ‘inspirational’ figures off as phoney and the sorts of things you see plastered on Facebook walls, as much as I also admire this woman in question, but I would call them Marilyn Monroe-isms. Upon further research, I unearthed information about her life, such as she made her living as a private dancer and was raped at the age of seven, this just further makes me in awe of the messages she brought to the world and how she dug herself from this subjugation. Such a powerful and resonating way to describe music and what it meant and means to me. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness,” which imprinted her name into my mind for always. It was the quotation, “Music was my refuge. I first heard of her name when I was 17 years old and researching inspirational quotes of all things, it goes without saying her works were there. The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.I was saddened today to hear of the death of a truly astonishing poet, a woman who has overcome deep oppression and risen, always risen, Maya Angelou. Don’t twists and turns often lead to breathtaking views? You will experience a thrill as you explore around every corner and hike up and down the captivating path. There is no thrill in a straight and smooth road. Life isn’t about accepting or hoping for the best, sometimes it’s more about experiencing and noticing even the smallest details. Life is not just the moment we live, it’s more about the moments we create. Isn’t it true that the more we embrace our life the more reasons we attract to keep embracing it? It’s not just about what we experience in life, it’s about how we embrace and fulfill ourselves through it. The importance of life can only be measured by a few breathless moments. Life has ups and downs, twists and turns, but that is just the way life moves, and that gives meaning to our existence. I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.Įmbrace your life, be grateful for it and realize that life isn’t any less than a gift. Life breathes in the exact same moment we do.ĭoesn’t every moment in life matter, irrespective of ups and downs, regardless of rises and falls? Life lives in the present moments, not in the past or the future. We don’t have moments in life, we have a life in the moments. When we truly feel and experience something, that’s when we live Your present moment is when you breathe, and your present moment is when you live. Moments can sometimes measure life more accurately than seconds, hours, or minutes. Life isn’t about how stable you were it’s about how stable and grounded you are despite falling numerous times. Life is not measured by the moments you live, but by the moments you take to live them. A person’s life doesn’t always revolve around how much wealth he or she accumulates, sometimes it’s more about how many memorable moments he or she experiences. Quality of life isn’t determined by how long you live, it’s determined by how well you live. We aren’t measured by how many memorable moments we have in our lives, but by how many new ones we create each day. It’s not the number of years you live that counts in life, it’s how you live those years. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
