yep

don't expect things to happen. it's better to be surprised than disappointed.

You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do. Bob Dylan

Please, no matter how we advance technologically, please don't abandon the book. There is nothing in our material world more beautiful than the book.

Freedom is...the right to write the wrong words. -Patti Smith

Pantheism

Pantheism is above all a profoundly emotional response to Nature and the wider Universe. It accepts that these are the only reality that we can truly know, the only reality that truly matters, the only reality we have to relate to. They are the place we arose, the place we belong, the context of our daily lives. We are at home here.
That emotional response has two primary elements. One is a sense of awe, wonder, reverence and acceptance of the natural universe, based on its power and beauty and mystery. This sense is the basis for some pantheists' use of words such as "god" "divine," though these words are never used in their traditional Western theistic sense. However, many pantheists prefer to avoid theistic words because of the ambiguity they give rise to.
The other is a sense of belonging, of community with the starry skies, with all living beings and with our own bodies. This sense is the basis for statements about the unity of all things, and about the unity of the individual with the whole. It is the basis on which pantheists can talk about and experience union with the whole, similar to the ecstatic experiences of mystics in all spiritual traditions.

Within these shared approaches, some pantheists believe in a supernatural side of the universe and a separate spiritual substance of humans. However, natural/scientific pantheists comfortably and enthusiasically accept and celebrate our fundamentally physical being. We believe that  our minds are expressions of our bodies, and that everything that exists is part of nature.

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.

books are for people who wish they were somewhere else

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. ~Mark Twain

If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.

For a dreamer, night's the only time of day.

Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
