“The important element is the way in which all things are connected. Every thought and action sends shivers of energy into the world around us, which affects all creation. Perceiving the world as a web of connectedness helps us to overcome the feelings of separation that hold us back and cloud our vision. This connection with all life increases our sense of responsability for every move, every attitude, allowing us to see clearly that each soul does indeed make a difference to the whole.” ― Emma Restall


“...every person has a star, every star has a friend, and for every person carrying a star there is someone else who reflects it, and everyone carries this reflection like a secret confidante in the heart.”


“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” ― Carl Sagan

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” ― Albert Camus


“The practice of being connected with yourself in a visceral, noncognitive way is powerful. We are unlikely to connect to another human being unless we are connected with our own needs.” — Judith Hanson Lasater

Entangled particles can become widely separated in space. But even so, the mathematics implies that a measurement on one immediately influences the other, regardless of the distance between them.


“Making a decision based on fear is like painting a self-portrait of someone else.”


If you can capture a woman's imagination, then you will have her.


“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.” — Audrey Hepburn


“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.” ― E.M. Forster


“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” ― Joseph Campbell


“I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally. I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.” — Audrey Hepburn


“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.” ― Audrey Hepburn


“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

Happy Easter!


When the evening shadows and the stars appear, And there is no one there to dry your tears, I could hold you for a million years, To make you feel my love...


"A thousand Dreams within me softly burn" — Arthur Rimbaud


"Conditioned to ecstasy, the poet is like a gorgeous unknown bird mired in the ashes of thought. If he succeeds in freeing himself, it is to make a sacrificial flight to the sun. His dreams of a regenerate world are but the reverberations of his own fevered pulse beats. He imagines the world will follow him, but in the blue he finds himself alone. Alone but surrounded by his creations; sustained, therefore, to meet the supreme sacrifice. The impossible has been achieved; the duologue of author with Author is consummated. And now forever through the ages the song expands, warming all hearts, penetrating all minds. At the periphery the world is dying away; at the center it glows like a live coal. In the great solar heart of the universe the golden birds are gathered in unison. There it is forever dawn, forever peace, harmony and communion. Man does not look to the sun in vain; he demands light and warmth not for the corpse which he will one day discard but for his inner being. His greatest desire is to burn with ecstasy, to commerge his little flame with the central fire of the universe. If he accords the angels wings so that they may come to him with messages of peace, harmony and radiance from worlds beyond, it is only to nourish his own dreams of flight, to sustain his own belief that he will one day reach beyond himself, and on wings of gold. One creation matches another; in essence they are all alike. The brotherhood of man consists not in thinking alike, nor in acting alike, but in aspiring to praise creation. The song of creation springs from the ruins of earthly endeavor. The outer man dies away in order to reveal the golden bird which is winging its way toward divinity." — Henry Miller (The Time of the Assassins: a Study of Rimbaud)


"I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still." — Arthur Rimbaud


"Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest." — Hermann Hesse


"Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it." — Ray Bradbury


"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting." — Paulo Coelho


"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." — Henry Miller


“Art is not an assembly of accidents. You have to master the rules before you break them.” ― M. Pierce

Forged Prescriptions (Full Album) - Spacemen 3

“It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. It allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.” — ThĂ­ch Nhất Hạnh


“When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice — the thinker — but the one who is aware of it.” — Eckhart Tolle

“Close your eyes and you will immediately see - imagination takes over, and you start going away from this moment, from here. In reality you are going nowhere, but in your mind you can go anywhere.” — Osho


“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.” — George Orwell


“A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

the kiss of mercy


i look for the moon
it blinks its tired eye
i move things around
so it looks like i forgot
my musical midnight
my rowdy morning
yet we are like two silent birds


nothing needs to be done
i will let this exist
like a spark on its way to a flame
like a hurricane
spinning into gold


smooth as chalk dust i laugh in the face of doubt
you've put furniture underneath my heart
your essence hangs heavy like fruit
there is no argument

 i can't forget
this desire is noisy
and you are the boss of my dreams
this breeze brought your name
i let my hair messy itself in your honor
you will never appear in moderation
this feeling
so particular
it's almost unnameable

i am braver at night
i can take on your craft
my soul is taking pictures
i am leaving this page of my book carelessly open

“Love? Be it man. Be it woman. It must be a wave you want to glide in on, give your body to it, give your laugh to it, give, when the gravelly sand takes you, your tears to the land. To love another is something like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.” ― Anne Sexton
