Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance. ~Osho

It's not physical loneliness
that troubles us, it's emotional
loneliness that hollows us.
~Senora Roy

Loneliness adds beauty to life.
It puts a special burn on sunsets
and makes night air smell better.
~Henry Rollins

Miniature Angkor Wat built by Cambodian refugees in Bataan, Philippines in 1984
I lived in Philippines around that year, on Luzon Island. Both of my grandmothers passed a way there and they both were buried next to each other. I love Luzon Island very much, especially the beautiful waterfall. And of course I miss Luzon and my grandmothers very much.

When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them. ~Lemony Snicket

Compassionate thought is the most precious thing there is. It is something that only we human beings can develop. And if we have a good heart, a warm heart, warm feelings, we will be happy and satisfied ourselves, and our friends will experience a friendly and peaceful atmosphere as well. This can be experienced community to community, country to country, continent to continent. ~ Dalai Lama

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay.
Love isn't love until you give it away.
