Her eyes slid away, focusing on something outside my window.

Drag me in with you. Dirty me. Prop me in your brass box seat. I’m there, am I not? because of you. He-slave. Slave of a woman who is a slave…I sing your praises, Beauty!…A slave, thou art greater than all Freedom because I love thee.

The past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past…That is why we dwell on the past, I think.

Were you in love with him?” he asked.
She turned and, apparently neither startled nor hurt, softly smiled. “In a way. Not the way I love Ralph. Not the way I might love you, but I loved him- no, he’s not gone yet- I love him too much but not enough. »No-No Boy, John Okada

Love is not something you save and hoard. You’re born with it and you spend it when you have to and there’s always more because you’re a woman and there’s always suffering and pain and gentleness and sadness to make it grow.
»No-No Boy, John Okada
Under the hard, tough cloak of the struggle for existence in which money and enormous white refrigerators and shining, massive, brutally-fast cars and fine, expensive clothing had ostensibly overwhelmed the quality of men that were good and gentle and just, there still beat a heart of kindness and patience and forgiveness.

It may sound a bit funny but I can compare life to a kitchen sink! If you keep it clean and free of debris, it will flow without effort! However, if you neglect it and allow the gunk to build up, then it will be stopped up and be very unpleasant! Don’t allow things to build up in your life and overwhelm you into doing something that in the long run will make you miserable!

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.
