I feel good
When I do bad
I feel bad
That is my religion

I will not live an unlived life,
I will not live in fear of falling,
or catching fire
I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living
to open me
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing,
a torch,
a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live
Dawna Markova

Life is like a game of cards.

All things are difficult before they are easy

which blows between
a horse’s ears
Arabian proverb

A Lesson in Music
Play the tune again,
but this time with more regard for the movement at the source of it and less attention to time.
Time falls curiously in the course of it
Play the tune again,
not watching your fingering, but forgetting, letting flow the sound till it surrounds you.
Do not count or even think.
Let go.
Play the tune again,
but try to be nobody, nothing, as though the pace of the sound were your heart beating,
as though the music were your face.
Play the tune again.
It should be easier to think less every time of the notes, of the measure.
It is all an arrangement of silence.
Be silent and then play it for your pleasure.
Play the tune again
and this time, when it ends, do not ask me what I think.
Feel what is happening strangely in the room as the sound glooms over you, me, everything.
Now,
play the tune again
Alistair Reid

The poets habit of living should be set on a key so
low and plain
that the common influences should delight him
His cheerfulness should be the gift of sunlight
The air should suffice for his inspiration
and
he should be tipsy with water
Emerson

i beg you ........
to have patience with everything unresolved
in your heart and try to love the questions themselves
as if they were locked rooms or books written
in a very foreign language.
don’t search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
and the point is to live everything,
live the questions now.
perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.............

The elders were wise. They knew that man’s heart, away from nature, becomes hard; they knew that lack of respect for growing, living things, soon led to lack of respect for humans too.
