everything sparkles
drinking the fresh taste of love
the world slips away

My response to Carpe Diem #1320 Falling in Love

Today’s quote is taken from Paulo Coelho’s novel Eleven Minutes:

“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side.  And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left!  How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly?  Life moves very fast.  It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.” (Source: Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho)
