If there is any beauty in my voice let it point to You
If there is any beauty in my limbs let it point to You
If there is any beauty in my face let it point to You
For as long as it is with me

I just don’t know how to say no to another cup of coffee.
I just don’t know how long do I gaze at the sea
until I've had my fill.

[Leslie Hickman @AJuseyo]

Everything was under his power, so he served.
He was the light of life, so he hid.
When the crowd tried to crown him, the prince of peace fled.
In him was the way of eternal life, so he died.

‘Wildflowers by the stream do not remember the despair they hear.’

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“If I were to die, surrounded by cold mountains, unknown to the world, repudiated by my own people, my strength at last exhausted, the sea would at the final moment fill my cell, come to raise me above myself and help me die without hatred.”

— Albert Camus

I often wonder if deeply studying a topic unveils its truth or atomizes it and distributes it into ready categories.
