Quotes by John Geddes

...I recall that day on the beach - the sand so brilliant, the clouds so massive, and the wind punishing your hair...

...spiritual or emotional pain doesnt become a memory so much as a bruise ...

...everyone wants to be excited by something magical and wondrous - to be reminded of how they once saw the world ...

...we went to watch the waves that bitter day and the wind took your red cap and mittens - blew them into the sea...

...strands of your hair and tendrils of the wind spin into nothingness the memories of that day...

...before you, life was desolate - the past hardly worth remembering - and now, each moment a keepsake I cant throw away ...

...every time I look at you autumn leaves come in between - does it matter theyre the color of your hair - or they still fall in my memory?...

...when I was a kid, Toronto streets were deserted and quiet on Sundays, except for the sound of church bells I stood on the sidewalk one December listening to the Christmas bells - Ive never forgotten that moment...

...I remember the oily smoke of a cigarette suspended in a shaft of sunlight - with you, everything was beautiful...

...I hardly ever see your profile, but have I told you its beautiful? - like the soft gentle lines of snow...

...when someone is honest and vulnerable, they wring my heart - I want to hug them for being real...

...you disappoint me -I am the worst liar in the world - I cant hide my pain or my need so I make a bouquet of my sorrows and give them to you ...

...the winter is kind and leaves red berries on the boughs for hungry sparrows...

...when your heart is broken, dont go silent - speak to God in his own language...

you cross the field in the snow leaving tracks in perfect whiteness ...disturbing my placid universe...marking the landscape within me ...

...at some point we must achieve our identity -we cant be always in adolescence seeking who we are...

...you became lost in the maze of me - forgive me Love, for keeping you close...

our hearts break, and take us out of relationships that are too painful for us

A heart never breaks in the same pattern of pieces

...the heart breaks in so many different ways that when it heals, it will have fault lines ...
