daydreaming of tattoos.

i want to get another tattoo. several, really. and i have several ideas for them too. one of which is a quote of some kind. but the tricky part is, what quote? it can't be too long and some of my favorites are WAY too long to be branding myself with. so, i will start my list of possibilities here.

1. "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart." jeremiah 29:13

2. something by e.e. cummings. the "i carry your heart" quote is my fav, but want to check for others.

3. some form of my girls' names. "em&ash" or something. perhaps with little tiny bees flying around...

4. Come to the edge, He said. They said, We are afraid. Come to the edge, He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918
(what about breaking up this poem/part of this poem into a couple places on the body)

5. some part of:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson

6. i am fearfully and wonderfully made,  psalm 139:14

7. i have found the one whom my soul loves (song of solomon 3:4)

8. symbols for "faith, hope, love" entwined somehow. cross, wishbone?, heart

9. No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. after all, you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.

10. The windows of my soul i throw wide open to the sun. (from My Psalm by John green leaf whittier)
