Sara Bareilles - Gravity

I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
I'm just the way I'm supposed to be

Set me free, leave me be

the way you are...

From finn to kurt, mom, and rachel....on Glee episode "Furt"

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are...

(this is dedicated to my Wells crew)

Lenka - Live Like You're Dying

I'll take every moment, I know that I own them
It's all up to you to do whatever you choose
Live like you're dying and never stop trying
It's all you can do, use what's been given to you

All of the moments you didn't notice gone in the blink of an eye
And all of the feelings you can't help feeling no matter how you try

being an optimist...

Luc: It's like we're going into a flower shop and we found an amazing orchid, and yet you said: "Why should i buy this flower? It's only going to die..."

(at the end of the day, Sarah bought an orchid and put it on the table, and Luc walked in...)
Sarah: I realized...that life is about buying the damn plant. Nurturing it, and watering it, just doing whatever we can to make sure it doesn't die...
Luc: So you're ready to commit to this plant?
Sarah: I'm ready to marry you...


(Brothers and Sisters)

not perfect...

Scotty: I get it, you're angry
Kevin: I'm not angry, i'm in pain and YOU put me here, the person who's supposed to love me more than anything. You're supposed to be better than this.
Scotty: I'm not...i'm just as lost and damaged and screwed up as the rest of you...i'm not perfect kevin...i'm not perfect...

Kevin: You know the worst part of this is? Do you know the hardest thing about this is? Whenever anything bad happens, you are the person i want to talk to most...
Scotty: Kev..do you want to come home?

(Brothers and Sisters, An Ideal Husband)

hope...

Scotty:Everything still is possible, don't let what i did make you give up hope.

Saul: I won't if you won't

(Brothers and Sisters, An Ideal Husband)

the one with marriage.

This is about figuring all of it out so you can find your way back to each other.

The thing about a good marriage is...even if a terrible mistake happens, you just can't imagine your life with anyone else. 

That's why you commit to each other.

That's why you make vows to each other., that through the good or the bad, you just keep trying...

You're fighting not only for love...

You're fighting for something bigger than either one of you...

You're fighting for the family you've become

You're fighting for the us you've become and that really is worth fighting for...

(Nora Walker in "An Ideal Husband")

dancing...

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Kutless Ready for You

take my heart away with Your love
and I am willing to put on my faith in Your plan.

I am ready for You. Take my heart and make me new now.
I am ready for You to come and fill my soul.

Cleanse all of my mind that is not of You.
Break me, teaching me how to find rest in Your hands.

Whatever it takes, I'm needing to make Your will be done
and I'm letting go of my control, for I see what You've done in me.

The fear you won't fall...

I know you're scared, That I'll soon be over it,
That's part of it all, Part of the beauty, Of falling in love with you,
Is the fear that you won't fall...

And I know it's easy to say, But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should, Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you...

Agnes: Aw. My caterpillar never turned into a butterfly.
Edith: That's a Cheeto.
Agnes: Oh. [eats it]

about lost...

"you have to give up the life you've planned to find the life that's waiting for you...
all our lives we grow by giving up things, by lost and  moving on, big things, little ones,
how we handle those losses really defines who we are...."
nora walker

growing up...

we can't go backwards...
it's time...

"pair of star-cross'd lovers"
who saved each other's lives...

change...

When we say things like: "people don't change", it drives scientist crazy...because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, matter...it's always changing, morphing, merging, growing, dying. It's the way people try not to change that is unnatural, the way we cling to what things were instead of letting them to be what they are, the way we cling into old memories instead of forming new ones, the way we insist on believing despite every scientific indication that anything in this lifetime is permanent. Change is constant. How we experience change, thats up to us... it can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it, it can be like a pure adrenaline. Like at any moment, we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born all over again. - Meredith Grey

encouragement...

"Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great."

promise to mom...

"i fulfilled the promise i've made my mom, i've made a happy life for myself." - Khan

love, humanity, hatred, and hope...

Mandira:
sam..
our khan has managed to achieve, with his love and humanity, what my hatred could never achieve.
my anger threw us apart, but today, his love has brought us together in a way where we remember you with renewed hope. Now i will never let him go anywhere, sam...
i will keep this love with me...for me..for you...forever...

" Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice 
at the end of the days saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

a hand of a friend...

"A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart." - unknown

will see how a scar in the earth has healed...

The men and women of Flight 93 were college students and grandparents. They were businessmen, pilots, and flight attendants. There was a writer, an antique dealer, a lawyer, an engineer.

They came from all different backgrounds and all walks of life, and they all took a different path to that September morning.

But in that awful moment when the facts became clear, and they were called to make an impossible choice, they all found the same resolve.

They agreed to the same bold plan.

They called the people they loved — many of them giving comfort instead of seeking it, explaining they were taking action, and that everything would be okay.

And then they rose as one, they acted as one, and together, they changed history’s course.

And in the days that followed, when we learned about the heroes of Flight 93 and what they had done, we were proud, we were awed, we were inspired, but I don’t think any of us were really surprised, because it was clear that these 40 individuals were no strangers to service and to sacrifice. For them, putting others before themselves was nothing new because they were veterans, and coaches, and volunteers of all sorts of causes.

There was the disability rights advocate who carried a miniature copy of the Constitution everywhere she went.

There was the Census director who used to return to the homes she’d canvassed to drop off clothing and food for families in need.

There was the couple who quietly used their wealth to make interest-free loans to struggling families.

And to this day, they remind us — not just by how they gave their lives, but by how they lived their lives — that being a hero is not just a matter of fate, it’s a matter of choice.

It extends to all those they inspired, who thought to themselves: If they can do something that extraordinary with their lives, then maybe, just maybe, it’s time I made something more of mine.

Maybe it’s time I wore my country’s uniform. Maybe it’s time I gave more to my community. Maybe it’s time for me to be a better friend, a better neighbor, a better American.

And most of all, this memorial extends to all their families, whose lives were shaped by their love.

And I’m thinking especially today of the children - toddlers who have grown into young men and women, teenagers who’ve become adults who will one day bring their own children to this place and tell them about the proud legacy they inherit.

Sonali Beaven was just five years old when she lost her father. And even in the midst the shock and the heartbreak of first hearing the news, she said to her mother: “I am so sad…but I am not the saddest girl in the whole world, because children lost their mommy and daddy.”

Muriel Borza, who’s here with us today, was just 10 when she lost her sister, Deora. And in a speech on the one-year anniversary, she called for a worldwide moment of peace, and she asked people — and this is her quote - to “…make a pledge to do a good deed that will help mankind in some small way, even if it’s a hug, a kiss, a smile or wave, a prayer or just silent thought of those they love.”

And I know that all the young people here have done their very best to be strong for their families, and to hold the memories of their loved ones close, and to live their lives in a way that would make them proud.

And I know it hasn’t been easy.

While grief has its own course for each of us, and no one can presume to know what your families have felt, I can imagine that there are days when the pain is still raw, when the time and distance of those nine years falls away, and that loss is still fresh.

But I can also imagine that as time has passed, there have been more good days, more moments when you’re able to find joy and comfort in happy memories.

And I can imagine that, on those better days, maybe sometimes you worry about whether, in moving on, you may in some way be leaving your loved ones behind.

But I can’t help but think that it’s actually just the opposite — that in having the courage to move forward, you honor their courage; that in choosing to live your own lives as fully as you can, you’re celebrating theirs; that in coming together, and pushing ahead to build this permanent memorial, you’re ensuring that their memory will always be a part, not just of your own lives, but of the life of this nation.

And know that because you kept going, and because you persevered, that long after you’re gone, people will come here - continue to come here - to Shanksville.

And they will see how a scar in the earth has healed; how it has grown back as a peaceful resting place for 40 of our nation’s heroes.

And it is truly my prayer today that in the years ahead, all who come here — and all of you — may be filled with the hope that is written in the Book of Psalms: “Though you may have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.”

May the memories of those who gave their lives here continue to be a blessing to all of you, and an inspiration to all Americans.

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

fly me away...

step out, you can walk on the water too...

You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under? You wonder
What if i'm overtaken? What if i never make it?
What if no one's there? Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step Into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too...

So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait...
And don't you turn around, and miss out on everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you're not sure,
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step into the unknown
He won't let you go...

Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you, telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid...
So what are waiting, what are you waiting for

i could be ordinary, i could be the one...

I could be your sea of sand
I could be your prayer of hope
I could be your gift of everyday
I could be a hint of what's to come

I could be the storm before the calm
I could be your well wishing well
I could be your breath of life
I could be your European dream

I could be your worry partner
I could be your socialite
I could be your green eyed monster
I could be your force of light
I could be your temple garden
I could be your tender hearted child

I could be your leafy island
I could be your thunder in the clouds
I could be your dark enclosure
I could be your romantic soul
I could be your small beginning
I could be your soothing universe

I could be ordinary
I could be the one

"seriously dude...murphy's law. this murphy and i, we are not friends" - valerie from Project Runway

mother teresa tells a story...

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try. 



I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. 


I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. 


If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. 


If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. 


If you judge people, you have no time to love them. 


In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. 


It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters. 


Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world. 


Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. 


Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. 


The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

faithful trust parable...

"There once lived a peasant in Crete who deeply loved his life. He enjoyed tilling the soil, feeling the warm sun on his naked back as he worked the fields, and feeling the soil under his feet. He loved the planting, the harvesting, and the very smell of nature. He loved his wife and his family and his friends, and he enjoyed being with them. Eating together, drinking wine, talking, and making love. And he loved especially Crete, his, beautiful island! The earth, the sky, the sea, it was his! This was his home.

One day he sensed that death was near. What he feared was not what lay beyond, for he knew God's goodness and had lived a good life. No, he feared leaving Crete, his wife, his children, his friends, his home, and his land. Thus, as he prepared to die, he grasped in his right hand a few grains of soil from his beloved Crete and he told his loved ones to bury him with it.

He died, awoke, and found himself at heaven's gates, the soil still in his hand, and heaven's gate firmly barred against him. Eventually St Peter emerged through the gates and spoke to him: 'You've lived a good life, and we've a place for you inside, but you cannot enter unless you drop that handful of soil. You cannot enter as you are now!' The man was reluctant to drop the soil and protested: 'Why? Why must I let go of this soil? Indeed, I cannot! What ever is inside those gates I have no knowledge of. But this soil, I know . . . it's my life, my work, my wife and kids, it's what I know and love, it's Crete! Why should I let it go for something I know nothing about?'

Peter answered: 'When you get to heaven you will know why. It's too difficult to explain. I am asking you to trust, trust that God can give you something better than a few grains of soil.' But the man refused. In the end, silent and seemingly defeated, Peter left him, closing the large gates behind. Several minutes later, the gates opened a second time and this time, from them, emerged a young child. She did not try to coax the man into letting go of the soil in his hand. She simply took his hand and, as she did, it opened and the soil of Crete spilled to the ground. She then led him through the gates. A shock awaited him as he entered heaven . . . ………….there, before him, lay all of Crete!”


Quoted in Ronald Rolheiser, Against an Infinite Horizon, pp.50-51., (Great Britain, 1995). 

- By letting it go, he found it...what are you holding on to?

  my prayer for you is that you may grow on faithful trust...always...
  (Father B)

about faith...

Everybody falls sometimes. Gotta find the strength to rise.
From the ashes and make a new beginning.
Anyone can feel the ache. You think its more than you can take.
But you are stronger, stronger than you know. Don't you give up now

It doesn't matter what you've heard. Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try. Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step. Out on the water
It'll be alright. Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way. If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do...

I worry I won't see your face
Light up again...

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide

life is wonderful :)

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful

It's hard to stand on shifting sand
It's hard to shine in the shadows of the night
you can't be free...
If you don't reach for help
And you can't love...
If you don't love yourself

But there is hope when my faith runs out
cause I'm in better hands now.

so take this heart of mine,
there's no doubt i'm in better hands now.

i am strong, all because of You
i stand in awe of every mountain that You move
For i am changed, yesterday is gone
i am safe from this moment on.

and there's no fear when the night comes 'round
i'm in better hands now...

"if i fail, i try again, and again, and again."

"it matters how you're going to finish, are you gonna finish strong?"

"everyday we hear stories about people who are hurting,
they have no peace,
no love,
no security,
no hope,
but together we can tell them the good news of saving grace.
we have the power to touch just one life,
encourage just one life,
transform just one life,
change just one life,
the only question is: whose life will you choose?"

Jewel - Satisfied

open your h.e.a.r.t.

If you love somebody
You better let it out
Don’t hold it back
While you’re trying to figure it out
Don’t be timid
Don’t be afraid to hurt
Run toward the flame, run toward the fire
Hold on for all your worth

Cause the only real pain
Your heart can never know
Is the sorrow of regret
When you don’t let your feeling’s show
So did you say it
Did you mean it
Did you lay it on the line,
did you make it count
Did you look ‘em in the eye & did they feel it
Did you say in time
Did you say out loud
Cause if you did Hun
Then you lived some
And that feeling inside
It’s called satisfied

Busy people walkin’ by
I can’t help but worry some
So many things to do
So little love gets done
Empty hearts everywhere
Drownding the dine(?) of thirst
But if you want love, it’s not that tough
Start by giving it first

Horses were made to run
And the sun was meant to shine above
And flowers were made to bloom
Then there’s us...
We were born To love
We were born To love

"For all of you who will always have that special place in the corner of my heart, maafkan bila ku tak sempurna...but i laid it on the line, hope i made it count, and wish you could feel it when i looked into your eye"

T-R-Y
Oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats
A dirty laundry needs a laundry man
Maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine
Baby breathe before you react

Sometimes we do forget to behave
And we regret what we say
Cause words are too weapons
If we don't choose'em carefully
Ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental
If life's to be a bed of roses

I know i gave you everything you like
Because you still give me butterflies

If we just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
Then the world would be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy
Well i'm stoked on gravity
To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops
Now let it in my direction
My direction is up when everybody's down
Cause i don't mind being anybody's clown
I love a little lift cause i'm an optimistic
In an altruistic way

Cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony
Spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration
Oh these words I speak I commit to like a crime
With a rhythm i deliver i'm giving them a picture
Of the reasons why

We should just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world could be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Well it wouldn't cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives
From teary eyes
If we just try try try
To open up a can of understanding open up your heart
I'm just planting seeds
Cause i believe

We could just try try try
Just to be ni-ni-nice
So the world would be a better place for you and I
If we just live our lives
Putting our differences aside
Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Love is...

This is from a friend’s page, it tells you what “love” is through children’s eyes:

‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’ Billy - age 4
‘Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.’ Terri - age 4

‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.’ Bobby - age 7

‘If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,’ Nikka - age 6

‘Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.’ Tommy - age 6
‘Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.’ Elaine-age 5

‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day’ Mary Ann - age 4

my personal favourite:
‘You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.’ Jessica - age 8

And the final one –
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour,
the little boy said, ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry’

Meredith and Derek - married :)

Derek: (takes post-its and a pen) Ok. What do we wanna promise each other?
Meredith: That you’ll love me… even when you hate me.
Derek: To love each other, even when we hate each other. (writes it down) No running. Ever! (Mer smiles and comes and sits in front of him) Nobody walks out. No matter what happens.
Meredith: No running.
Derek: (writes it down) What else?
Meredith: That we’ll take care of each other, even when we’re old, and smelly, and senile. And… if I get Alzheimer’s and forget you…
Derek: I will remind you who I am, every day. To take care when old, senile, and smelly (writes it down) This is forever. (signs it) Sign.
Meredith: This is our wedding. A post it? (smiles)
Derek: Mhmmm. If you sign it.
Meredith: (signs it, and hands it back. Has tears in her eyes) Now what?
Derek: Now I kiss the bride. (They kiss)
Meredith: (smiling) Married.
Derek: (smiling) Married. (sticks their post it in Mer’s locker) You see that? (Mer nods and smiles) Plenty of time.
