QOTD

We take almost all the decisive
steps in our lives as a result of
slight inner adjustments of which
we are barely conscious.
W.G Sebald

QOTD

We are healed from suffering
only by experiencing it to the full

QOTD

And yet if you look at a society
that sings and dances as a
regular thing, it’s not that it has
an effect on their life– it is their
life.
Gary Snyder

QOTD

The beginning of knowledge is
the discovery of something we
do not understand

QOTD

When you look at a corpse you
can always sense your own
breath better.

Quote of the day

Drink your tea slowly and
reverently, as if it is the axis on
which the world earth revolves
slowly, evenly, without rushing
toward the future.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Looking outside again
I find myself looking outside again,
outwards into the world
for words to describe what I feel,
What I want to express.
After a flurry of searching, of grasping
At the voices of others,
The articulation, the timbre, the pace,
I stop –
Wait.

Why others? Why not me?
Surely I can pluck the words
Ripe from the branching neurons
of my blooming mind-orchard?
Am I not best suited to tease
The sparks breaching my subconscious
Higher into the light,
to sculpt and mould them into
The form of my fancy?

No,
I don’t need to go outside to play.
