Ramblings on collarme "wanna be" types versus "the real thing."
I don't know of anyone who is actively looking for a time waster! Maybe the "would be" folks appear to waste time, but they don't think it is a waste of their own time because they are just getting started and may not be ready to go r/t. And many of the real ones indicate that they might entertain the thought of a novice (aka wanna be), and so that could be time well spent. But for sure, time is what we make of it. It is not always the destination, they say, but the journey.
Methinks my ramblings are getting too rambly. I need to un-ramble and go to sleep! Nite friends!

There is no justice in infidelity. A broken heart may mend by all outward appearances, but it will always retain the shadow of pure despair and grief, especially in times of the flashback. Only a complete erasure of the entire memory can give justice to the one stricken and that, my friends, is not plausible. ~ r.girl

Once upon a time, I, Chuang-tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, flittering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly...suddenly I awoke... Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. -- Chuang-tzu |

Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away… -- Dinah Mulock |

Wolves which batten upon lambs, lambs consumed by wolves, the strong who immolate the weak, the weak victims of the strong: there you have Nature, there you have her intentions, there you have her scheme: a perpetual action and reaction, a host of vices, a host of virtues, in one word, a perfect equilibrium resulting from the equality of good and evil on earth. -- Marquis de Sade |

Grief is a most peculiar thing; we're so helpless in the face of it. It's like a window that will simply open of its own accord. The room grows cold, and we can do nothing but shiver. But it opens a little less each time, and a little less; and one day we wonder what has become of it. -- Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha |

What is passion? It is surely the becoming of a person. Are we not, for most of our lives, marking time? Most of our being is at rest, unlived. In passion, the body and the spirit seek expression outside of self. Passion is all that is other from self. Sex is only interesting when it releases passion. The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead and that soon, come what may, we will be wholly so. -- John Boorman |

There is a sort of subjection which is the peculiar heritage of largeness and of love; and strength is often only another name for willing bondage to irremediable weakness. -- George Elliot |
