So just some quotes that I have come across over the years that I love – about love of course!

First one by Susan Sarandon in the movie “Shall we dance”

Why is it that people get married?
Because we need a witness to our lives.
There’s a billion people on the planet.
What does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything…
The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things,
All of it… all the time, every day.
You’re saying “Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
Your life will not go unwitnessed – because I will be your witness.

Second one is from Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers (I know someone else says this but this is where i heard it)

“True love is the soul’s recognition of it’s counterpoint in another”

and finally where would I be when talking about love if I didn’t quote some Browning . . .

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I think that poem is a person favorite of mine as it just seems to get across the pure point and fact that describing your love for someone is almost so hopeless because there really is no measure – no words to really justifiably describe that feeling when your heart just wants to leap from your chest. I always tell my husband I love him so much it hurts, it really does! It feels like my heart will explode and I am rendered speechless at trying to explain it – those of you in love know exactly what I mean! I will leave you this evening with a gem of a poem I found on the internet when searching through for inspiration for my logo.

Cocoon

by Moyra Caldecott

I lie
curled
in the green cocoon
of my garden
spun of sunlight
and leaves…
ready
to be born.
