Man comes from a drop of semen and leaves as a piece of dust.
He doesn't know when he came
He doesn't know when he leaves
Yet he walks on earth thinking he knows everything
Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.
David Quammen
Let any one try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.
William James
I hope the world drops tiny, unexpected wonders into your lap today and they make you grin so wide your cheeks hurt, leaving your heart quietly lighter than it was before.
march, sharpen my intentions and cut ties with confusion, filter my thoughts with love until peace begins to drip from my energy. protect my spirit from fear that travels faster than truth and allow me to release what lives beyond my reach. keep my integrity louder than worry.
january, refurbish my thoughts and coat my intentions in gold. decorate my mind with softness so i can proceed on my path without carrying old chapters that used to weigh me down. tame the temptation to revisit doors that have expired lessons behind them. polish my discernment.
november, soften my thoughts and starve my doubts, water my intentions and dissolve my fears. reduce the volume on anything that tries to convince me i am not worthy so i can hear the frequency of my own love again. may i always remember my magic on days when i forget who i am.
