On Loss

I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped on the flags! In every cloud, in every tree—filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day, I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women—my own features—mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!

~ Wuthering Heights

Happy Socks Day

I was in a good mood this morning :D

Speaking of mood, I read something interesting today

"We are not our feelings. We are not our moods. We are not even our thoughts. The very fact that we can think about these things separates us from them and from the animal world"

Another interesting thing, for the first time I knew that there is a difference between liberty and freedom, summed up in these lines:

"They had more liberty; more options to choose from in their environment; but he had more freedom; more internal power to examine his options"

See, Happy Socks Day didn't turn out to be a useless futile post! Socks can put you in the mood!

I used to think that you have to be a good person to do good. Now I'm teaching my children that you become a good person by doing good

- Law & Order, season 4

Never have I been sad or glad
That there was such a thing as bad.
There had to be, I understood,
For there to have been any good

Robert Frost

I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.

- John Constable

More or less...

Hope is that thing with feathers

that perches in the soul

and sings the tune without the words

and never stops... at all.

~Emily Dickinson
