“The planet does not need more ‘successful people’. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds. It needs people to live well in their places. It needs people with moral courage willing to join the struggle to make the world habitable and humane and these qualities have little to do with success as our culture is the set.”
— Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama














maybe if we can use
the darkness
the torment
the shambles of our hearts and heads
and turn it into something beautiful
poetry
music
artwork
then maybe
it won't be so bad.
i'm in love with the idea of being in love.
i want to grasp it, seize it.
the concept itself is beautiful.
how two minds can become infixed,
with raw love,
and tender affection.
love is magical,
and many have fallen in love
with the pure idea of
being in love.
