"No!” he said, a little sullenly, but stoutly. “I’m not sorry. And it wasn’t folly at all! It was simply glorious!”

A little bit of poetic wisdom:
"More clearly, more precisely with the years, I have come to feel the relative righteousness of our ways, and the ridiculousness of anything that is not produced with one's own blood, and one's own soul, and which is not saturated by love."
-Marc Chagall
We find comfort only in
another beauty, in others’
music, in the poetry of others.
Salvation lies with others,
though solitude may taste like
opium. Other people aren’t hell
if you glimpse them at dawn, when
their brows are clean, rinsed by dreams.
-Adam Zagajewski
Dearest dealer,
I with my royal straight flush,
love you for your wild card,
that untamable, eternal, gut-driven ha-ha
and lucky love.

Thoughtful and sweet (love the quote by Adam Zagajewski) .........and yes, magic has to be real to be its so....today, I choose to believe beyond my norm and reach out pass what I can physically see. I feel today, is more than just a "fairytale"...its a miracle.
Lovely post as always!
omg a little princess one of my favorite movies. it is so stunningly visual (don't you just want her redecorated Indian attic!) and perfectly heartbreaking, magical, and heartwarming at the same time. the end of the movie when her father finally recognizes her gets me every time.
yay for mammoth comments. it means a lot to me that you took the time to write that out (I have mini wars with myself about blog comments sometimes. I do like a lot of comments, it means that a lot of people did read the blog post after all, but sometimes the comments left are so vague and redundant that I prefer the long wonderful ones, so thank you thank you). I agree with you, I am a bit more whiny than I deserve to be. Life really isn't all that bad after all, I do have a lot going for me. But this whole tornado that is growing up and finding out what you want to be and who you want to spend time with is pretty harsh, confusing, and chaotic sometimes. I feel like my life has been revolutionized since I moved out of my old room. my old roomate/former bestfriend really took over my life, she was such a dominating force I found myself sort of seeking her approval (which is just dumb because she's as immature as can be, not an authority) and now that I never want to see her again let alone hear her opinion, I am forced back into making up my own mind and making my own choices and I can no longer blame her for anything. its very liberating, but immensely stressful actually having your own life again haha. I feel like I am definitely getting out there and meeting so many new people, and I am only getting closer to who I want and need to be, but it can be such a slow process ugg.
sorry that was definitely novel length, and all about me, oy. haha oh well, hope you enjoyed that? haha It really means a lot to me that you're here for me and really do listen. Thanks! (ps hoping that I get approved for going abroad, and if I do I will make many a trip to cambridge!!!)
Ooh these are so pretty! I saw your comment on Poppy French about Dubrovnik, I'm going in June, it seems like a really pretty place, with lots to do.
HEY! I've opened up a new shop and I'm giving items away! Yes, just giving things away. I'm sure this isn't how a business is supposed to work! He he, check out... http://www.awonderingstar.com/2010/03/giving-back.html
Have a beautiful week xoxo
