The Way I See It #299
There is a subtle difference between a mission and a promise. A mission is something you strive to accomplish- a promise is something you are compelled to keep. One is individual, the other is shared. When a mission and a promise are one and the same.. that's when mountains are moved and races are won.

As You Like It
No sooner met but they looked
No sooner looked but they loved
No sooner loved but they sighed
No sooner sighed but they asked
one another the reason
No sooner knew the reason
but they sought the remedy
And in these degrees have they
made a pair of stairs to marriage
-Shakespeare

I Carry Your Heart With Me
i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done by only me
is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate
(for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon
has always meant
and whatever a sun
will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and
the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky
of a tree called life;
which grows
higher than the soul can
hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping
the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)

The Way I See It #141
I used to feel so alone in the city.
All those gazillions of people
and then me, on the outside.
Because how do you meet a new person?
I was very stumped by this for many years.
And then I realized, you just say, "Hi."
They may ignore you.
Or you may marry them.
And that possibility is worth that one word.
~ Augusten Burroughs

Sonnet 116
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempest and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown,
although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool,
though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
-Shakespeare
