Charles Darwin was the first person to draw a Tree of Life that showed
that all species on Earth are related and that they evolved from a
common ancestor. This is his tree.</div>
<span class="userContent"></span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent">There is grandeur in this view of life, with
its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or
into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to
the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most
beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved. ~Charles
Darwin, The Origin of Species</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Love the earth and sun
and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand
up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence
toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to
any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and
with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in
the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you
have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever
insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and
have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines
of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every
motion and joint of your body... ~ Walt Walt Whitman</div>

<br />
Her dirty paws and furry coat,<br />
She ran down the forest slope<br />
The forest of talking trees,<br />
They used to sing about the birds and the bees<br />
The bees had declared a war,<br />
The sky wasn't big enough for them all<br />
The birds, they got help from below,<br />
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow<br />
<br />
And for a while things were cold,<br />
They were scared down in their holes<br />
The forest that once was green<br />
Was colored black by those killing machines<br />
But she and her furry friends<br />
Took down the queen bee and her men<br />
And that's how the story goes,<br />
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And let the sun wrap its arms around me</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">And not one speck will remain</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That there are roads left in both of our shoes</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But if the silence takes you</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">Life
will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone
won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You
have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And
when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or
death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the
apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell
yourself you tasted as many as you could.</span></span></div>Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05391203924962106246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-31490166802610630742012-06-15T09:59:00.000-07:002012-06-15T09:59:03.571-07:00Come Dance With Me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We didn't build bridges simply to avoid walking on water. Nothing so
obvious. A bridge is a meeting place. A neutral place. A casual place.
Enemies will choose to meet on a bridge and end their quarrel in that
void...For lovers, a bridge is a possibility, a metaphor of their
chances. And for the traffic in whispered goods, where else but a bridge
in the night?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I will come for you. Roll my strength into a ball for you. Throw
myself across chance for you. I will be the bridge or the pulley because
you are the dream. </div>

When the rain
begins to fall and the rainbows paint the sky, I will dance with you.
When the winter creeps, I'll stand beside you and watch as the
snowflakes fall like poetry upon the boughs. When the rays of summer's
sun kiss our skin, I will hold your hand and lie with you in the grass
making pictures in the clouds. And when the night falls upon us, I
will dream with you.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When
we are apart, just look around, you will always be able to find me in
small and beautiful things: the leaves of fall as sunlight passes
through, footprints in the snow, the song of windchimes, springtime
flowers, April rains and the stars at night. You will find me in those
places and in your memory, and above all, in every song that brings
peace to your heart.</div>

cell in the human body regenerates on average every seven years. Like
snakes, in our own way we shed our skin. Biologically we are brand new
people. We may look the same, we probably do, the change isn't visible
at least in most of us, but we are all changed completely forever.<br />
<br />
When
we say things like "people don't change" it drives scientist crazy
because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy.
Matter. It's always changing, morphing, merging, growing, dying. It's
the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to
what things were instead of letting things be what they are. The way we
cling to old memories instead of forming new ones. The way we insist on
believing despite every scientific indication that anything in this
lifetime is permanent.<br />
<br />
Change is constant. How we
experience change, that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can
feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our
grips, go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment
we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born
all over again.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05391203924962106246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-52565749461649101282012-04-22T16:25:00.002-07:002012-04-22T16:25:56.717-07:00For Ella Bella<div style="text-align: center;">

Some say love, it is a river, <br />
That drowns the tender reed. <br />
Some say love, it is a razor, <br />
That leaves your soul to bleed. <br />
Some say love, it is a hunger, <br />
An endless aching need,<br />
I say love, it is a flower, <br />
And you it's only seed.<br />
<br />
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, <br />
That never, learns to dance. <br />
It's the dream, afraid of waking, <br />
That never, takes the chance. <br />
It's the one, who won't be taken, <br />
Who cannot, seem to give. <br />
And the soul, afraid of dying, <br />
That never, learns to live. <br />
<br />
When the night has, been to lonely, <br />
And the road has been to long. <br />
That you think that love is only, <br />
For the lucky and the strong. <br />
Just remember in the winter, <br />
Far beneath the bitter snows, <br />
Lies the seed that with the suns love, <br />
In the spring becomes the rose.</div>Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05391203924962106246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-37861917517996130692012-04-22T14:46:00.001-07:002012-04-22T14:46:21.062-07:00Yellow Bird<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And the world's got me dizzy again<br />
You think after 29 years I'd be used to the spin<br />
But it only feels worse when I'm stuck in one place<br />
So I'm always driving around or walking away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And I've been drinking the ink from my pen<br />
And I've been balancing history books up on my head<br />
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase<br />
If you love something, give it away.</div>Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05391203924962106246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905353746465795170.post-40087964546792729082012-04-21T10:56:00.003-07:002012-04-21T10:58:39.941-07:00Kite Strings<div style="text-align: center;">
