Sharks in the Pool

There were sharks in the pool that were made for you...

For just one chance to find
Love with someone that you loved to find
For just the sense to try
To walk ahead and leave the pain behind
If the days aren’t easy and the nights are rough
When they ask you what you’re thinking of
Say love, say for me love The Avett Brothers “Living of Love”

Im Luke, my girlfriend Kate was just diagnosed with cancer and lost all her hair. So for her, I shaved my head as well.
I love this girl, please keep her in your prayers <3
Please reblog to show her that people out there care.

Guess what happened? You grew. Your comfort zone has expanded. Stretch your arms, wiggle your fingers, feel the new space you’ve created for yourself. Sometimes when we grow, it takes awhile for us (and others) to catch on. Praise the progress you’ve made. I know you’ve taken a massive leap recently. And I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate your brave dance moves. How do I know this? Because I too have grown, and we are the same. Kris Carr

There are times, and the times are not frequent, when the light that grows inside you senses the light that is growing around you and you can feel it aching to climb out. You can feel it boiling and rising to the surface, ready to evaporate and rejoin the sunflares and streaks that flash across the world before us. Find the light and when you do, stand still and close your eyes and let all you are join all it is. Find the light and turn your face to it.

Top Ten Rules for Being Human

Acceptance is the bridge. Accept the pain, accept the wounds, accept yourself as you are, Don’t try to pretend to be somebody else, don’t try to show that you are not this. Don’t be egoistic, and don’t go on pretending and laughing while your heart is crying. Don’t smile if your eyes are full of tears. Don’t be inauthentic, because by being inauthentic you are simply protecting your wounds from being healed. Your whole being will become rotten. Osho (via rabbitinthemoon)

ombuddha:

This is how we love, Buddha-style: impartial to all, free from excessive attachment or false hope and expectation; accepting, tolerant, and forgiving. Buddhist non-attachment doesn’t imply complacence or indifference, or not having committed relationships or being passionately engaged with society, but rather has to do with our effort to defy change and resist the fact of impermanence and our mortality. By holding on to that which in any case is forever slipping through our fingers, we just get rope burn.

“If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.”
-Henry David Thoreau
