“Pain
is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the
heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a
sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of
pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels
like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind
against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air!
We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest
thing that will give us that wind against our faces.”

don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and
femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the

Marilyn Monroe

of another loving, caring human being.”

“There
is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically
herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true
essence of beauty.”
―
Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human
Experience
“To
him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people,
that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking
of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the
breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the
movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He
had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her
character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.”

more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

Osho
