“Aloneness is a gift. A beautiful gift to the human soul. True and consistent satisfaction comes from the bond you form with yourself. Nobody else is a constant”
― Mohadesa Najumi

“¡Terribles rincones vacíos del cuarto! Cada uno se llena con la deseada presencia del ser amado. Rincones desnudos. Los dedos se retuercen en el aire tratando amorosamente de hallar Esos brazos, Esos ojos, Esa boca…Y ninguna magia activa su renombre. Todo es en vano. Nuevos deseos. Nuevas frustraciones. El nombre expirado por los labios no resucita en ningún rincón. ¡No! ¡Dios mío! ¡No!”
― Alejandra Pizarnik, Diarios

“Pray with a friend this week.
I know Christ dwells within me all the time, guiding me and inspiring me whenever I do or say anything. A light of which I caught no glimmer before comes to me at the very moment when it is needed.
SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX
Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.
-LUKE 6:38
The world waits until someone gives before giving back; however, Scripture tells us to give first, then it will be added unto us. We can do this with our love, affection, material things; with our friendship, help, and attention. You might have grown up with a limited, conditional kind of giving. If so, it is time for healing. We are so fortunate to have the ultimate example of "giving first" in our Lord. He gave unconditional love, He gave His life, He gives His mercy and grace.
St. Francis of Assisi's words are a great encouragement to live as an instrument of God's giving goodness.
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there”
― Emilie Barnes, The Tea Lover's Devotional

“Enamorarse a solas es enamorarse del silencio, un silencio con humo y espejos. El amor, si es algo, es dos que se miran. Tú has intentado crear su mirada en tu mágico laboratorio poético. No quejarse si estás quemada y dolorida. En vez de dos ojos salió una sonrisa de desprecio. La que esperabas, sin duda. Pero como era demasiado insoportable revelarte que buscabas la desdicha pura te entregaste falsamente a lo que no buscabas.”
