get on your feet / get up and make it happen

like if you save

Bottom line is… we’re around each other an’… this thing, it grabs hold of us again… at the wrong place… at the wrong time… and we’re dead.

The gaze

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) dir. Peter Weir

Top 10 Harry Potter Characters (as voted by my followers) 5. Remus Lupin “You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you’ll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no … anything. There’s no chance at all of recovery. You’ll just… exist. As an empty shell.”

Top 10 Harry Potter Dynamics (as voted by my followers) 4. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger “I heard it. A voice. Your voice, Hermione. You said my name. Just my name. Like a whisper. So I took it, clicked it and this tiny ball of light appeared. And I knew. It flew towards me, the ball of light, right through my chest and straight through me. And I knew it was going to take me where I needed to go.”

Just a little bird for the new year.

And now, looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart the start of something new. Happy anniversary, Troy and Gabriella! ♥
