Echoing Words

Now that I’ve met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again

Aimee Mann

There are no events but thoughts and the heart’s hard turning, the heart’s slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times.

Annie Dillard

Life is a moment between two eternities.

Blaise Pascal

There’s no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And that is my religion.

Abraham Lincoln

This is the regret that you make

Earl Partridge
“Magnolia”

Here’s to the roses and lilies in bloom,
You in my arms and I in your room.
A door that is locked, a key that is lost,
A bird and a bottle, and a bed badly tossed,
And a night that is 50 years long.

Herb Caen

But me I just bear up to my bewildered best
And some folks even seen the bear in me

Steven Fromholz

A guy is walking into his house when he spots a snail on his doorstep. He nonchalantly picks up the snail and tosses it across his driveway.

A couple months have gone by when the guy hears a slight knocking on his front door. He opens the door, and sure enough, there’s the snail looking up at him asking,
“What the hell was that all about?!”
