"You Can Turn Off The Sun,

But I'm Still Gonna Shine."

~ Jason Mraz

"Don't"

"Don’t walk too close. Don’t breathe so soft.

Don’t talk so sweet. Don’t sing. Don’t lay oh so near...

Please don’t let me fall in love with you again."

~ Jewel

"Learning is finding out what you already know.

Doing is demonstrating that you know it.

Teaching is reminding others that they

know just as well as you.

We are all Learners, Doers, Teachers."

Richard Bach

Keep Holding On

"You're not alone, Together we stand

I'll be by your side, You know I'll take your hand

When it gets cold, And it feels like the end

There's no place to go, You know I won't give in

No I won't give in"

Kevin Zegers

“I'm not supposed to love you,

I'm not supposed to care,

I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there.

I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do...

I'm sorry I can't help myself,

I'm in love with you.”

32 Flavours

"Squint your eyes and look closer.

I'm not between you and your ambitions.

I am a poster girl with no poster.

I am thirty-two flavors and then some.

And I'm beyond your peripheral vision,

so you might want to turn your head.

Cuz some day you are gonna get hungry,

and eat all of the words you just said."

-Ani Difranco

Saskatchewan Landscape

I wanna walk & not run!

I wanna skip and not fall!

I wanna look at the horizon

& not see a building standing tall!

Laughter

"You can't deny laughter;

when it comes, it plops down in

your favourite chair and stays as long as it wants."

~ Stephen King

Just Be My Friend

Do not walk behind me, I may not lead.

Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow.

Just walk beside me & be my friend.

God & Sky & Green

I'd love to live in a forest room
With moss beneath my feet,
And the ceiling made of leafy green
Where boughs of pine trees meet.

The lighting I'd like indirest

Just sunlight trickling through,

And here and there between the leaves,

A patch of Heaven's blue.

Oh, I'd love a little forest room

With walls of roughened bark,

And my only entertainment

Just the sweet song of the lark.

I'd let the whole world pass me by

And live a life serene,

With all the things I'd ever need -

Just God and sky and green.

~ Gelia K. Parker
