I Carry Your Heart With Me
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Why are you without a relationship?
Taken from Astroved:-
There are many reasons for this question. I can at least think of many reasons:
01. You are not good looking, the other sex does not want you
02. You are fat
03. You are old
04. You belong to an ethnic group that is not well respected
05. You are not accomplished or well mannered
06. You have no job or money
07. You do not know how to attract
08. You are short tempered and cannot keep a relationship
09. You are self centred and do not care for the other person
10. You come from a dysfunctional family in which your father and mother constantly fought
11. You have a strong belief that relationships will never work
12. Deep down you think that it is better to be single than being in a relationship
13. You do not want a relationship because you do not want to be hurt
The above list is by no means exhaustive. I can probably add a dozen or more reasons to the list.
But I want to give a spiritual reason for having or not having a relationship.
Basically relationship is karmic.
You simply do not meet someone by accident. Relationship is always a continuation through many lifetimes. Two people come together to complete an unfinished relationship from previous lifetimes. You stay together until the karma is done. Once it is done, you break up or divorce. This is what happens spiritually in a relationship.
You may ask, what about people who do not have a relationship? Do they not have karma to meet a man or a woman? Yes they do, but they are not exercising that karma. Perhaps they came here to feel the life of being single. Perhaps they had been a monk or a nun and enjoyed loneliness and that karma is continuing.
I must tell you that I am not interested in giving you more reasons as to why you are single or why you are not able to create a relationship. I can help you to create a new relationship for yourself.
Yes, you must have karma for it, but do you not realize that you have already had inexhaustible karmic relationships that you have had in millions of lifetimes? You simply need to pull someone from your karmic bank.

How Patricea Relates to Other People
Venus Sextile Saturn with an orb of less than 1 degree
While you may not be emotionally demonstrative or sentimental, you love deeply, lastingly and loyally. You may be strongly drawn to people either much older or much younger than you are. Love, for you, has always entailed an enormous amount of responsibility.
Sun Sesquiquadrate Neptune with an orb of less than 1 degree
Your father was either over-idealized or he was rejected as a role model. Either way, your concept of what a man should be is not based upon a mortal person, but upon an ideal. This may lead to unrealistic expectations in close personal relationships.
Mercury Conjunct Saturn with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees
You are a serious person and inclined to be somewhat inflexible in your thinking. Since you tend to be rather judgmental, you could only be happy with someone who is in philosophical agreement with you and conceptualises the world as you do. Sometimes you are rather taciturn.
Venus Opposition Neptune with an orb between 3 and 5 degrees
Love for you is often a "divine discontent". You are so romantic and idealistic it is difficult for any mortal person to sustain your interest without disappointing you. Your need to idealize loved ones may make you susceptible to illusion.
Sun Sextile Mars with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees
You are assertive without being overly aggressive and usually go after what you want with confidence and enthusiasm. You enjoy sex and your partners tend to be dynamic, successful people. Your natural energy and moxie is usually sexually interesting to others.
Mercury Sextile Venus with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees
You are creative and charming. You speak well, live well and are fond of people who have taste, wit, good manners and share your aesthetic interests. Your emotional ties must also be on your intellectual level or your interest will soon begin to wane.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter with an orb between 1 and 5 degrees
You have a quality people trust and you are often sought after as a confidante or an advisor. You have high moral and ethical standards and it is imperative that anyone you're close to is a person of the highest integrity. You prefer well-educated people.
'Relationship'
"Relationship" is fundamental to human life. It is because man is a social animal. You will be terribly bored if you are alone.We are not born to be lonely.
I am not against loneliness. In fact, it is the best that can happen to anyone, if one understands it and experiences the bliss in loneliness.
Unfortunately, this is not the reality of most people.
Everyone wants relationships of some sort with the individuals or groups that they deal with. But then there are challenges in every relationship.

What love is to one man
What can I hold you with?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the
moon of the jagged suburbs.
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked
long and long at the lonely moon.
I offer you my ancestors, my dead men, the ghosts
that living men have honoured in bronze:
my father's father killed in the frontier of
Buenos Aires, two bullets through his lungs,
bearded and dead, wrapped by his soldiers in
the hide of a cow; my mother's grandfather
--just twentyfour-- heading a charge of
three hundred men in Peru, now ghosts on
vanished horses.
I offer you whatever insight my books may hold,
whatever manliness or humour my life.
I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never
been loyal.
I offer you that kernel of myself that I have saved,
somehow --the central heart that deals not
in words, traffics not with dreams, and is
untouched by time, by joy, by adversities.
I offer you the memory of a yellow rose seen at
sunset, years before you were born.
I offer you explanations of yourself, theories about
yourself, authentic and surprising news of
yourself.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the
hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribe you
with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.
- Jorge Luis Borges (1934)

Nothing's gonna change my world
Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
~ Across the Universe, a Suede cover of The Beatles song

Apples & Grapes
Got this off Anthony's blog and thought I'd share it:
Women are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
And...
Men are like a fine wine.
They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with...
