Quotes by John Geddes

...the best way to forgive someone is to enter into their sufferings ...

...its easy to express romantic love - harder to manage daily love - to forgive failings close to feelings - to divide self from soul...

the heart aches through nights—the broken places of neglect

my soul has shadows – nooks and crannies where griefs, like cobwebs, collect

...theres the suffering from love and the suffering from grief - either pain permanently scars the soul...

...you must never partly love or stop half way - because then, you become superficial and cannot be deeply hurt or loved...

...beneath torrents of spring rain, buds come to life - and we do too, beneath torments of tears...

...all winter the acorns and red Maple leaf moldered in silence - in the same way grief is gnawing at me - slowly, imperceptibly... consuming...

...a passing face together with his grief turned you into a weeping Madonna...

This will be a winter so desolate, only memory can fill the emptiness

...in my dream the shadings of your soul are the dark tincture of rain...

...sorrow binds us - I will always cherish you - my only disillusionment is unspoken words ...

You don’t read to exercise the mind but to take voyages

The only difference between you and a dream is I haven’t woken up with you

...I live in Ireland every day in a drizzly dream of a Dublin walk...

Decembers wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summers memory...

...dark embers smolder inside me - one touch and they flare - who would have thought memory combustible, or near you bright sparks appear?...

...your memory is a warm stone hidden in my hand Im always turning over...

...I want to live doubly - first with you and then afterwards in memory ...

...Ive decided ... love is an eternity of slow motion replays ...
