:: THE COMPANY WE KEEP ::

When you give your heart to life, it is not lost;

for a thousand hearts come back to you,

and each contains a bit of your own.

Because love requires courage,

so many people choose to remain safely locked within themselves.

but those who move beyond reticence and fear

quickly learn that there is no security in isolation;

that our lives unfold and gather strength

in THE COMPANY WE KEEP.

every now and then, i find a poem that melts my heart... and this is the latest favorite piece. =)

(My brother bought me this exquisite pocket size diary from Disneyland... absolutely beautiful... glittery & gold on the sides...it has an entire page dedicated to a disney character for each day of the year... yes 365 characters.. all different and it even states where they are from on the cover : 1968 Winnie the Pooh - 1995 Pocahontas. How delightful! the problem here is i love it so much that i can't bear to use it... i have like 6 journals so far that i bought or were gifts and i couldn't bear to use it coz they're so pretty.. and now this.. and i have got to use this one coz it's for 2007.... oh well hello diary! starting 1st Jan 2007, you will be a treasure cove of memories, prayers and ramblings! and i promise you it will be an exciting year ahead! i hope.
