Evening, Wisdom, Love and Beauty



Do I love you because you're beautiful,
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
~Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Cinderella



Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. ~Albert Einstein



There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is God's finger on man's shoulder. ~Charles Morgan



You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip. ~Jonathan Carroll, "Outside the Dog Museum"



Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate! ~Sandra J. Dykes

    Lavender and chocolate in the ONE POST??? Are you trying to kill me? :))

    Fortunately I'm about to fly to the west, otherwise I'd be hyperventilating :)

    Lavender! You are so lucky to have been to fields of lavender, I miss it so. I was brought up as a child in Provence close to lavender fields, and I can still remember it with nostalgia.

    It IS surprisingly magical to be loved when I have been trying hard to be unloved so much in the past.

    Aw ... BEAUTIFUL and awesome views and quotes. The Charles Morgan words remind me why I've started to write again at Sacred Ruminations. It's been too long ;--)
