She, whose beautiful face could enslave a man,

she, whose haughtiness makes your heart tremble,

how will you cope when she falls trembling in front of you?

Rumi, Woman, a Ray of God

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.

If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,

this is the best season of your life.

Wu Men

I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably; 

I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.

 Albert Camus

autumn

Autumn in my grandparent's garden. 

Happiness lies in the tiny moments of peace ..

Nobody before Kierkegaard had seen so clearly that the freedom to make a fateful decision that may change our character and future breeds anxiety.

Walter Kaufmann

the poetry of material things

'We’d said we’d keep in touch. 

But touch is not something you can do from a distance. 

Touch is not something you can keep; as soon as it’s gone, it’s gone. 

We should have said we’d keep in words, 

because they are all we can string between us-words on a telephone line, 

words appearing on a screen. '

Every thing you do has a ripple effect. 

Your smile, your laughter and your joy create waves of light all around you. 

Your love, your compassion and your care emanate warmth 

to all those who come into contact with you. 

Your vision, your persistence, your courage and your inspired action 

are manifesting your dreams into reality as we speak.

Chris Assaad

'A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.'

The story of human intimacy is one of constantly allowing ourselves to see 

those we love most deeply in a new, more fractured light.

 Look hard. Risk that. 

Cheryl Strayed

It must be the sea darling, calling back to her, it must be..

'I am soaked in it

I’m drenched in your love,

will you dry me off?'

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, 

beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. 

Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function.

 Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. 

You will never be able to experience everything. 

So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

There are days that walk through me

and I cannot hold them.

Katherine Larson, “The Gardens in Tunisia” 

take the time

peace

Love itself is not selfish, devouring or cruel, 

but in human beings it suffers a terrible coexistence with those qualities.

 Vladimir Nabokov

first of all

The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, 

but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. 

To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.

 Charles Palanhuik 

Most people think happiness is about gaining something, but it’s not. 

It’s all about getting rid of the darkness you accumulate.

 Carolyn Crane 

No amount of physical beauty will ever be as valuable 

as a beautiful heart.
