love is...

"Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends"

(hmm...)

"Never do anything standing that you can do sitting,
or anything sitting that you can do lying down."
Chinese Proverb

(wow! that's pretty deep...)

"Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself"
Zen Proverb

(one of my favourite zen quotes; still can't manage it though)

...and 'cause my birthday is just around the corner:

"Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you"
Ogden Nash

(...and here i am, on a saturday morning knowing my telephone won't ring anymore 'cause i cancelled my landline last october...and NO mobile!!!..i must be older than middle age then but then again...what's middle age?)


5 hours later...
no need to reply; i found the answer...

"Middle age is when we can do just as much as ever - but would rather not."

and...

"Middle age is when work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work."


phew! no middle aged as yet...but more importantly:

"It's hard to feel middle-aged, because how can you tell how long you are going to live?"
