Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

It's hardest to love the ordinary things, she said, but you get lots of opportunities to practice.
jewelflyt:
These are little packets of light & you need to plant them early in the year & remember to mark where they were because lots of times they look like weeds in the beginning & it's not until later that you see how beautiful they really are.

I only do this until I get dizzy & then I lay down on my back & watch the clouds, she said. It sounds simple but you won't believe how many people forget the second part

She learned to love him before he thought it was even possible, so he didn't have a chance to hide & mess it up & while it was a little scary at times, mainly he could not even imagine the world without her there.
jewelflyt:
How can you be sure it has a soul? she said. You can't, I said, unless you've got one yourself.

Opening a door to the mysteries, hoping to shed a little dark on all the stuff we think we know
jewelflyt:
Sometimes the only thing to do is to start looking at everything again until you forget what you're supposed to see & actually see what's there

Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place.

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
jewelflyt:
She said you know what heaven is like? & I said I wasn't sure & she laughed & said grown-ups didn't know much at all about important stuff & I said I had to agree with her even though I was one of them myself.
jewelflyt:
My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.
jewelflyt:
There are things you do because they feel right & they may make no sense & they may make no money & it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other & to eat each other's cooking & say it was good.
jewelflyt:
I was waiting for such a long time, she said. I thought you forgot. It's hard to forget, I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone.
jewelflyt:
The most important thing you leave behind is the stuff that turns into treasures when children find it.
jewelflyt:
That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
jewelflyt:
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
