Perhaps Sadness will use the shimmering wings of the morning kissed with dew and promise to sail away, and the dark Heart of the Night will rush headlong into the blinding light of the Day, to kiss it full and hard upon the mouth and embrace life's brilliance once more... :) Glo

[Music] takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are all of us living in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
- Oscar Wilde

At night, as I tried to go to sleep, I listened to Mr. Fox play the piano, and I learned from those evening recitals that music could ache and hurt, that beautiful music was a place a suffering man could hide.
- Pat Conroy, "Beach Music"

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it. I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning."
Mahatma Gandhi
1869-1948, Indian Nationalist Leader

A verbal art like poetry is reflective; it stops to think. Music is immediate, it goes on to become.
- W. H. Auden

I want to sing like an Angel with soft, silken, feathery white wings. I want my voice to kiss your ears and tickle you with chills... I want to thrill you with melody! :) Glo

Oh Love... go ahead break my heart into a million pieces! Even then I will love you with each piece of my broken Heart a million times over...

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot (1819 - 1880)

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. ~Author Unknown

Tell Me Good Night...

I am freezing to death again tonight
Need someone to hold me tight
Love me by warm candlelight
Let me know everything's alright
Kiss me sweet... tell me good night

:) Glo

There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
(Song of the Lotus Eaters)

Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.
~ Paul Simon
