Friday night went to a med school-sponsored party at Reading Terminal in center city Philly. It was fun to see lots of creative costumes but other than that it was eh. Definitely over that whole scene. Saturday night an old friend came in from out of town so we had a fun time playing host and taking the group to Bob & Barbara's then to the Pearl Jam concert. It was the last show ever at the Wachovia Spectrum. I'm not a Philly native but it was definitely an emotional thing going on for a lot of people at the show - lots of memories in that building for most of them I think. It was pretty cool to see, and the show went on for over 40 songs. Yeah crazy!
I love you crazy Lynne. This postsecret of course made me think of you when I saw it.
I can say the same thing as whoever sent that one in. I'm proud to look like you, proud to be the same as you in so many ways: two big hearts, two women who love animals, two women who are kind and generous and love to laugh. I'm so glad I'm your daughter.
(you're always letting me be me, every day you're the only thing i see)
I will never lose the ability to stand on my own. But when you become one with a beautiful soul it feels like a sin to be separated. Tomorrow the world will be right again.
when you sang the air around you stopped to listen
the earth danced with you

"And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead."
“And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.”
"Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It's not nice."
“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”
"I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarrass easily. "
"They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting."
“Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.”
“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.”
“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”

you were still loved worldwide to the day you died.
"Certain nights you’d feel a certain surrender, maybe if you’d had wine. The surrender would be forgetting yourself and you’d put your nose to his neck and feel like a squirrel, safe, at rest, in a restful dream. But then you’d start to slip from that and the dark would come in and there’d be a cave. You make out the dim shape of the windows and feel yourself become a cave, filled absolutely with air, or with a sadness that wouldn’t stop."
"There’d be times when you overdid it. You’d get carried away. All the next day, you’d be in a total fog, delirious, absent-minded, crossing the street and nearly getting run over."
"You wonder how long you can keep it up. You begin to feel as if you’re showing through, like a bathroom window that only lets in grey light, the kind you can’t see out of."
