“Love is self-explanatory: the right person makes you feel well nigh immortal, vaccinating you with their affections. So long as you remain in their heart you are safe, or better than safe even, for a while at least. You are momentarily, in a state of grace.” FeelsWellsHeartPersonsLongSelfStatesLove IsGraceSafeAffectionImmortalRight Person Book:Losing Julia Source: Losing Julia
“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele
“Winding her arms close around his neck, she closed her eyes. To be embraced, safe in a man's arms when she had never expected it to happen again, this would be enough.Time sheltered their embrace, enfolding them within a summer scented capsule that felt endless and theirs alone. The fragrance of grass and sunlight and nearby water sweetened each breath. Theirs was the music of birds ans the lazy buzz of insects and the beating of two hearts. Yes, she thought, she didn't need more. This would be enough.” MenNeedsHeartTwoEnoughHappensWould BeEyeFeltWaterArmsSafeSummerBirdBreathsEmbraceExpectedEndlessGrassNecksLazySunlightHer EyesInsectsFragranceEnough TimeBuzzTwo Hearts Author:Maggie Osborne
