If the whole universe

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

~C.S. Lewis

Poetry is

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”

~Leonard Cohen

We are shaped

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

~Buddha

Listen

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

~Kalidasa

The soul

The soul should always stand ajar,

~Emily Dickinson

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

We've got

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.

~ John Lennon

We find ourselves

We find ourselves
right where we left
off, back at the beginning
...of another ending.

Somehow,
that just delights us.

~Paul Goldman
