“What aileth thee?” said Ahmed. “Hast thou not every thing thy heart can wish?”
“Alas, no!” replied the dove; “am I not separated from the partner of my heart, and that too in the happy spring-time, the very season of love!”
“Of love!” echoed Ahmed; “I pray thee, my pretty bird, canst thou tell me what is [...]
HOPE is the thing with feathers–
That perches in the soul–
And sings the tune without the words–
And never stops–at all–
And sweetest–in the Gale–is heard–
And sore must be the storm–
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm–
I’ve heard it in the chillest land–
And on the strangest Sea–
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb–Of Me.

There’s a serenity unparalleled in riding that clears my mind, frees my heart, and staves off my restlessness. When I ride I am liberated from responsibility, from time, from you. It’s not that you chain me, I suppose, it’s that you preoccupy me. Mostly I don’t even perceive this as an unwanted distraction. It’s more [...]
me: well anyway, this woman is a lunatic
halffull: is she rich?
me: no. totally not
halffull: man, how has she not died yet? where is darwin when you need him?
I’m a bitch, I’m a tease
I’m a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer

- Bitch, Meredith Brooks

Jokingly, I’ve told people that I feared I’d wake up one day and announce that I had the craziest dream that I lived in Europe for two years. Well, If it was a dream, it was a most amazing dream, one in which I traveled the world, met new friends, hiked the mountains, played hockey [...]
me: don’t argue with me papaya
papaya: oh like i havent learned that by now
arguing w/ you is futile
me: it’s not only futile, it’s infuriating
Do you hear me,
Talking to you,
Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to [...]
My pony Texas has an indentation in the right side of her neck. She’s had this dent since I bought her, and I always figured it was some kind of polo battle scar that she got during her high goal days. Yesterday a gal I play polo with said that a pony she just bought [...]
