Thorn Chronicles

Only you can decide whether to be an outline of the future,or a shadow of the past. – Unknown
Only you can make a choice about change in your life. Only you can listen to your heart and change the way you act and react. Open yourself up to inner dialog through meditation. Ask your heart what it needs. Ask for help and let go of your problems, let your heart answer you.

It doesn’t matter what we do until we accept ourselves.
Once we accept ourselves, it doesn’t matter what we do.

I want:
to grow,
to have joy, and
to find success as I define it not by others definitions

The Character: Maya – The Movie: Kama Sutra
Knowing love,
I will allow all things to come and go,
to be as supple as the wind
and take everything that comes with great courage.

As Rasa would say to me “Life is right in any case.”

My heart is as open as the sky.

When a love, or loved one, is lost and there is pain, you have still had love. Do not be afraid of the feelings that love opens you to. Don’t hide from the possibilities – Open yourself to them, embrace them. Strive for the place in your soul where you can accept the things that come to you, good and bad, first with understanding rather then reaction. Appreciate the things that life and people can offer you. Be open to new ideas, people and new ways of doing things.

Yes, we suffer as we grow and learn in our lifetimes, some more then others. That doesn’t mean that we will always suffer, that everything will bring us pain. Some things will bring us joy and pleasure and we deserve those things, we’ve earned them. Happiness a our right, but we cannot have happiness or true joy by being closed off to the experiences around us.

In the movie Maya learns that having love, even for a short time, is worth whatever pain she suffered from it. And, although her love is taken from her she knows that she must continue to be open to new things or she will not find love again.

When terrible things happen to us we must go on, because if we don’t, if we always struggle against the possibility that something is going to hurt us, we close the doors on the good things that can come to us as well.

Love shouldn't make you feel like nothing,
it should let you feel like something.
- Suanne

What we lost here is something better left alone,
second steps have been forgotten,
will you tell me how they go?
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again.
There’s no one around you can remember
being good, for you.
So shame, shouldn’t try you,
couldn’t step by you and open up more shame.

Loving unconditionally is the most beautiful thing a person
can acheive. To know such joy and goodwill is to know
and touch divinity. It is to be one with a
reverant and peaceful light.
- Suanne

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each
other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
– Antione de Saint-Exupery

You don't seem to know - or seem to care what your heart
is for...Nothing's fine, I'm torn. I'm all out of faith,
this is how I feel. I am cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
...I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn...
there's just so many things that I can't touch, I'm torn.

Love is neither a greedy child or a selfless Martyr.
- Suanne

All those dress rehearsals to find that Love can be so pure. It breathes a life of it’s own within me. I want to stop it, to make it understand there is no place for it to go but the heart of it keeps beating.

I cannot regret this hurt because I love, and even this horrible hurt is more than I would have if he had not come into my life. I am all but delirious in my need to feel him beside me again, just once more, to sit side by side and feel the tug of what could have been. I would not trade a moment of this terrible hurt if it meant that I would have to give back the moments I cherish.

To find such total joy and have it taken after one small glance is a bitter thing. Yet now I truly understand that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

We are helpless creatures, we cannot choose who or when we love. But we should rejoice that we are allowed these beautiful feelings, even if they are fleeting. What would life be without the contrasts of love and loss.

Man is free
at the moment he wishes to be.
- Voltaire

When people are so sad and focused on the dark, negatives of their life I wish they could look at one tiny good and positive thing. The longer you focus on that small thing, the more energy that little spark of light has and the brighter it will shine. Soon it will glow and illuminate the darkness showing you that without the shadows the problems aren’t so large.

Hope can bring amazing changes to your life, it only needs to begin with one small spark to light the way.
