3-Day Quote Challenge 3

Thank you to Michaela from The Path Less Travelled for nominating me for the challenge. 

I really wanted to post a quote about roses and love (my two favorite things!), but couldn’t find the right quote. I looked at dozens of rose and love quotes on Sunday, but nothing spoke to me. So I left it alone. My subconscious solved it for me. I woke up with a jolt in the early hours of Monday morning, it is the seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose. And I thought that’s exactly what I was looking for, the Rose by Bette Midler! Isn’t it amazing how our soul can sometimes speak to us?

So here’s my choice for day 3-lucky last!

3-Day Quote Challenge 2

Have a lovely day (or night!) I’m in the future, I’ve just woken up to Monday morning xo

3-Day Quote Challenge

I was surprised yesterday by Michaela of The Path Less Travelled By with a 3-Day Quote Challenge. I haven’t done a challenge in a while so decided to do this one. Except that I will not be nominating others, if anyone would like to participate then please feel welcome to with a pingback here.

Now for the hard part, what quote to choose? There are so many insightful, wise, encouraging quotes in the world. So I decided to have some fun and say what I really want. (Give it to me!) I’m going with song lyrics, that can just as well double up for quotes.

Here goes! (Thanks once again to Michaela)

Quote #1

It’s Happened

All my aching

All my craving

Desires

Prayers

Have scattered like

Torn pieces of paper

On a hot windy day

I no longer want you

I no longer need you 

I can see through you 

It’s happened 

It’s gone

Magic


Nature’s power in creating beauty. A rose bud getting ready to be opened by the sun. It is magic.

In Hindsight

The good thing is:

It doesn’t matter what smart, sexy, super-intelligent, sassy comments I could have made, or how I could have responded.

Because you would still be you.

Glad

Day after day 

And night after night 

Waiting and hoping 

And biding my time 

I feel so glad

I am relieved 

That finally 

I can see 

The mask 

The face 

The smile 

So fake  

And I am glad

To have 

Escaped

I am free 

I am me 

And glad to be 

Fantasy

Sometimes we need a big knock over our heads to jolt us back to reality. Even if fantasy is more comforting. But the fantasy never becomes real, does it? And reality has its claws all over us. No escape.
