Destiny
Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul,
Each choosing each through all the weary hours
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal.
Then blend they, like green leaves with golden flowers
Into one beautiful and perfect whole;
And life’s long night is ended, and the way
Lies open onward into eternal day.
Edwin Arnold
When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom
I don’t agree with a lot of things that Elizabeth Prophet believed, but this quote from her pretty much sums up my feelings regarding relationships:
“Your mate may be the perfect complement who makes you feel whole, but only you can make yourself whole. The lack of wholeness isn’t the problem, so much as expecting the other person to fill in which only you can do.”
