  2. A quotation from Propertius

    Yet loneliness shall weary thee, and still
    Love torture thee with longings nought can fill.
       Absence makes passion’s tide have double sway,
    Possession cloys the love of every day.
     
    [Nulla tamen lecto recipit se sola libenter:
    Est quiddam, quod vos quaerere cogat Amor.
    Semper in absentes felicior aestus amantes:
    Elevat assiduos copia longa viros.]

    Propertius (50-16 BC) Roman elegiac poet [Sextus Propertius]
    Elegies, Book 2, Elegy 33, l. 41ff (2.33.41-44) [tr. Moore (1870); 3.25]

  3. “Silly” thoughts… – part 3

    A few months ago, I shared two "similar" posts like this one, hence the "part 3" 😉. Back then, the toots had to do with my home, with having my own upstairs area again... 😊 And with being grateful for the things I had, while I also felt shame for being jealous of people that had "more/better" things... This time... It's a whole different topic: doggy kisses, and telling them you love them. 💜 How do they experience it? 🤔 Does Koa enjoy getting my kisses? Or does he allow it because he's a sweet boy, but he actually doesn't want to have the sloppy kisses coming from me? 🤔 […]

  8. Affection is warmth without demand.

    No claim.
    No contract.

    Just a quiet leaning
    toward what is here.

  15. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    If you tell children that they ought to be affectionate, you run the risk of producing cant and humbug. But if you make them happy and free, if you surround them with kindness, you will find that they become spontaneously friendly with everybody, and that almost everybody responds by being friendly with them. A trustful affectionate disposition justifies itself, because it gives irresistible charm, and creates the response which it expects. This is one of the most important results to be expected from the right education of character.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 2, ch. 11 “Affection and Sympathy” (1926)

  21. 🎶catching up on 3 #wss366 prompts in one post, tra-la!

    Little Uchuma, a piranha lass, was about to turn one, and her parents had invited the whole school to a birthday party in celebration. They #lavished a whole pirarucu on the partygoers, who tore into it with furious abandon, sending bits and flakes and chunks into the water until resembled a fish stew, a scene Uchuma's parents observed with #affection, while on shore, human observers reacted with #revulsion.

  25. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    The happy man is the man who lives objectively, who has free affections and wide interests, who secures his happiness through these interests and affections and through the fact that they, in turn, make him an object of interest and affection to many others.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 17 “The Happy Man” (1930)
