This Too Shall Pass


'This Too Shall Pass' is my favorite saying that is from an old story involving King Solomon. There are many versions of this folktale and I always encourage others to research and read up on it. Enjoy!

As far as this blog goes.... This Too Shall Pass....
I leave you with pictures and quotes that were once popular.

Goodbye

This Too Shall Pass

I haven’t really posted much in the last few months, and so I’m retiring my blog. It will stay, as is, with just a few post of quotes that were once popular. Thank you guys for everything. Goodbye! =)

The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran

Chapter On Love

When love beckons to you follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you believe in him,

Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.

He threshes you to make you naked.

He sifts you to free you from your husks.

He grinds you to whiteness.

He kneads you until you are pliant;

And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, I am in the heart of God.”

And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

It’s strange, isn’t it?

How fast life can change? In the blink of an eye. In less then a second. Yet on the other hand, some changes can take years upon years…….

You may not love me today, tomorrow, or ever, but I will love you until it kills me, and, even then, you’ll be in my heart.

It’s crazy, right? to love someone who’s hurt you? It’s crazier to think that someone who hurts you loves you.

Quote reblogged from straight and fast. with 13 notes

Hey, you. Yes, I am talking to you. Don’t let other people bring you down. Learn to stand up for what you believe in. Don’t be afraid to be who you are. If there are people who won’t accept you, then screw them. They are not worth it. Learn how to be independent. In the end, you need to be there for yourself because not everybody would. Don’t be afraid to fight back. Don’t pretend, everything would be better if you would just keep it real. Just be yourself and not anyone else. Don’t let your insecurities get in the way. God loves you for who you are. I love you for who you are. You’re beautiful in every way as possible. It’s time to believe in yourself and what you could do.

Living

havent-got-a-prayer:

Life does not exist as “good” or “bad”. Life just happens. We can’t control the events that occur, but we can control how we react to them. I believe that attitude can make the difference between a good day and a bad day. We can choose to let a negative situation hold us back from enjoying our time on Earth; or we can realize that life is short, and dwelling in negativity is simply a giant waste of time.

At the end of the day, I don’t want to be thinking about all of the things that went wrong in the past twenty-four hours. I’d much rather get excited about the days to come, or smile for the fact that I made it another day—something that many others are not fortunate enough to have.

Every second of life that you have is a wonderful thing. Don’t waste it with regrets, grudges, or negativity.

 AGREED! I try to live my life like this today. It’s easier said then done. But I’m much happier today then I have ever been.

On Death

(I wrote this E-mail to someone who just had a friend pass away. I thought I’d post it here in case it could help someone else.)

I know you are going through a really hard time right now. Death is a part of life. Everyone we know is going to die someday. Death will always be something I’ll never truly understand but we can’t live forever. This planet doesn’t have enough space for us to do so. lol You are going to end up grieving from any death and the length of time varies from one person to the next. They say there are different stages of grieving…. Shock and Denial, Pain and Guilt, Anger, Depression, Acceptance and Hope….. there may be more… I believe that when it’s you time, it’s your time. And whatever purpose that person was put on Earth to do was finished and it was just their time to go. We may never know what their purpose was and that’s okay. We have to accept that. I also believe everything happens for a reason and you might not know it now or in a year from now but it does. There’s always something to be learned or taught or taken from any situation that can make us better people, whether it be from the death itself or from the person passing. We need to celebrate their life and never forget that person in our hearts.
 
This is only what I believe. You can agree or disagree and that’s okay because there really isn’t a right or wrong. Life and death are only what you make of it. I hope this can help.
