When someone is in your heart,
they’re never truly gone.
They can come back to you,
even at unlikely times
~Mitch Albom

{they come back
to you
as ghosts>
in your dreams

What a lovely surprise
to finally discover
how unlonely
being alone can be.
~Ellen Burstyn

{for now,
i like
being alone
and
i am
not lonely~sb}

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead,
either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
~Benjamin Franklin
…
{i endeavour to write & to do things
worth remembering~sb}

Why be unhappy about something if you can change it?
And if you can’t, how will being unhappy help?
~ Shantideva, ancient Indian spiritual scholar

{this was a wise question
about adjusting my attitude
posed to me by my mother
when i was seven or eight.
altho, i understood it
way back then ~
it took me many years
to put it into practice.
ever-thanks mom~sb}
