Take Back the Night

Time and life are funny things. For the past few weeks it seems like
things have been running at 110 miles an hour. We all got the Den
running good (thanks for the posts); I did the witchvox thing, and
have been playing out a run in another group.
Outside of all that is work, study; sleep, running all over the
county�it goes on and on.
When life gets going too fast we sometimes loose sight of things.
The world around us starts to blur because it is passing by us so
fast and we forget about what is important. Sometimes you have to
slam on the breaks and just stop, especially if you are with someone.
Some couples don't do anything or go anywhere without each other.
They are together 24/7. And they are comfortable like that because
nothing seems to be the same without them right there tagging along.
Parts to a whole I suppose.
Some couples walk forever never really noticing that their partner
is over in the corner waiting for them.
It only takes a moment folks. Don't let life rule your life and
don't let too much time go by without stopping everything and just
being for a while. If there is someone out there you love then stop
right now and tell them. Call them, message them, put it here on the
board...just stop and do it. You never know what tomorrow will bring.


She Walks in Beauty


She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.


One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.


And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

--George Gordon, Lord Byron
