everything that frightens us
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875-1926 German Poet

Can I tell you how much I loved this? Sometimes, I'm so pissed off with people, that I forget they are my tests to see how much better I can be.
i know, it was such a tender way to look at a situations like this.
i also sometimes react on emotions (actually all the time :) and then feel bad afterwards if it was negative. i try to remember this on those days, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
btw, got sarah's cd. love it!
Glad you like it. I think we have more in common than I think, it's actually scary. I remeber on one personal poster with my name, Kaveri (not sure if I ever told you that), it said I'm 'a quick tempered lady who does not hold spite'. Hmmmm...
BTW, love the new pic, and smile:)
really, wow. too bad we don't live in the same place. hey, now if only i had your amazing writing talent, that i would like :)
a poster with your name said that? funny!
oh and thanks (re: pic) i got tired of seeing the other one, hehe!
yeah, but then there's the distinct possibility that they're actually just dragons and just waiting for you to let your guard down.
[let's guard down]
aaaieeeee!
so maybe all the dragons we face are nothing but mirror images eh? hmmm, interesting thought.
Wow....that is a beautiful quote. Thanks a bunch. I'm going to have to share it with some of my friends that could use that right now....

cocaine jesus :: they saw that what we don't like in someone is usually something we see in ourselves so that's an excellent point you make.
