I am a sister. A daughter. A lover. I am not 100 pounds. I am not one size fits all. I am a size 14. 18. Size 22. I am beautiful. I am half the women in this country. I am not outside the norm. I am the norm. And I am not invisible. ~ Just My Size ad

Intoxicated By Love
Because of your love
I have lost my sobriety.
I am intoxicated
By the madness of Love.
In this fog
I have become a stranger to myself.
I am so drunk
I have lost my way to my house.
In the garden
I see only your face.
From the trees and blossoms
I inhale only your fragrance.
Drunk with the ecstasy of love
I can no longer tell the difference
Between drunkard and drink,
Between Lover and Beloved.
~ Rumi

Don't yield to the temptation of believing that the world can be fixed. Above all, don't yield to the hubris that you can fix it. Realize that your actions can, at best, make some conditions in the world a little more bearable, make suffering a little less painful. But just because this is all you can do, does not mean that you should not do it... do it in the face of all hopelessness. And why? Because to help, to be compassionate is your highest calling... if you can't do this, if you won't do this, then you are hopeless. ~ Dr. Stephen Hoeller
