"I consider the light that enters the room in the early hours of the day as a messenger of the sun, a direct voyager, a particle, a wave, who knows, but an object of sorts that left its solar source, covered miles, and landed on my skin. So the universe constantly visits us while waiting for us to reverse that itinerary."
Shifting the Silence, Etel Adnan

Life is short. And we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us. So, be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.
-- Henri Amiel (1868)

Basically it’s how much beer you supped last night, how strong the curry was you had afterwards, and where you were sick. Just think egotesticle.’ (Feet of Clay)
Sleep Affirmations by Jennifer Williamson
I have done my best today, and I am willing to forgive the rest.
My best is always good enough and everything else is worthy of forgiveness. I am willing to try this belief: I have done my best. I forgive the rest. Now it’s time to let go.
Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'erfraught heart and bids it break.
-- William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm...
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.

"We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real. People we love are being targeted…"
Four things you can't get back
The stone after it's thrown.
The word after it's said.
The occassion after it's missed.
The time after it's gone.
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” — Frédéric Bastiat
