The Life and Times of Shaani

http://community.livejournal.com/mondaysabitch/19750.html

Time is a lot of the things people say that God is.

There's the always preexisting, and having no end.

There's the notion of being all powerful -- because nothing can stand against time, can it?

Not mountains, not armies.

And time is, of course, all-healing.

Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return.

And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil.

This quote is the prologue from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. JT checked the book out from the library. I read a few pages of it and didn't care for the book, but I absolutely love this prologue. Time is God and Memory is the Devil. Interesting.

No Friday Five... hmm I really need to come up with my own thing like Friday Jive or something. I was counting on a Friday Five too because I did not know what I wanted to write about in particular.

Today I finished reading a wonderful book that I borrowed from Cheryl. The book is entitled 'Soul Mates Dissipate' by Mary B. Morrison. There were plenty of steamy scenes, but the moral of the strory was stronger than anything. Morrison's leading characters, Jada, Wellington and Melanie learn about soulmates and true love or at least what they think is true love. The following is an except from the book where Jazzmyne recited a poem to Jada:

Soul Mates Never Dissipate
And they never part
The spiritual bond that connects the two
Is connected heart to heart

It matters not--dead or alive
The bond cannot be broken
And you feel the pain of the other
Even when words are not being spoken

You can deny in your head
But never in your heart
What God puts together
No man can tear apart

Soul Mates Never Dissipate
And they never part
The spiritual bond that connects the two
Is connected heart to heart

Sure you may have another lover
Or a husband or maybe a wife
But the eternal bond of your Soul Mate
Gels the existence of your life

Flesh will perish
We all must die
But the spirit of a Soul Mate continues
Because your Soul Mate lives within you

For man was not meant to live alone
So your Soul Mate you must embrace
To ignore the existence of your Soul Mate
Is to doubt your very own faith

Soul Mates Never Dissipate
And they never part
The spiritual bond that connects the two
Is connected heart to heart

Excerpt from Mary B. Morrison, Soul Mates Dissipate. p. 141-142.

Lord of the Rings comes out in theatres today and I'm not done with the book yet! :(
