Nothing is ever solid or still. Everything that exists pulsates, creating a rhythmic vibration that the ancient yogis acknowledged with the sound of Aum. We may not always be aware of this sound in our daily lives, but we can hear it in the rustling of the autumn leaves, the waves on the shore, the inside of a seashell.

this is a question i’ve asked myself countless times as of late. when a situation is stressful and i’m about to let myself freak out, i take a step back and ask myself: “is this situation really going to matter in a year?” if not, i shrug it off. if so, i take appropriate steps to correct the situation and move on. i’m not perfect, but this one question has helped me immensely. why worry? why get angry? why be miserable? the things we get upset about on a daily basis most likely won’t matter a week from now, let alone a year from now. perspective is key. don’t sweat the small stuff, and the big stuff won’t seem as scary.

Dear Samantha, I’m sorry we have to get a divorce. I know that seems like an odd way to start a love letter but let me explain: it’s not you. It sure as hell isn’t me. It’s just human beings don’t love as well as insects do. I love you… far too much to let what we have be ruined by the failings of our species. I saw the way you looked at the waiter last night. I know you would never DO anything, you never do but… I saw the way you looked at the waiter last night. Did you know that when a female fly accepts the pheromones put off by a male fly, it re-writes her brain, destroys the receptors that receive pheromones, sensing the change, the male fly does the same: when two flies love each other they do it so hard, they will never love anything else ever again. If either one of them dies before procreation can happen both sets of genetic code are lost forever. Now that… is dedication. After Elizabeth and I broke up, we spent three days dividing everything we had bought together - like if I knew what pots were mine - like if I knew which drapes were mine - somehow the pain would go away. This is not true. After two praying mantises mate, the nervous system of the male begins to shut down. While he still has control over his motor functions he flops onto his back, exposing his soft underbelly up to his lover like a gift. She then proceeds to lovingly dice him into tiny cubes, spooning every morsel into her mouth. She wastes nothing. Even the exoskeleton goes. She does this so that once their children are born she has something to regurgitate to feed them. Now that… is selflessness. I could never do that for you. So I have a new plan: I’m gonna leave you now. I’m gonna spend the rest of my life committing petty injustices, I hope you do the same. I will jay walk at every opportunity, I will steal things i could easily afford, I will be rude to strangers, I hope you do the same. I hope reincarnation is real, I hope our petty crimes are enough to cause us to be reborn as lesser creatures, I hope we are reborn as flies, so that we can love each other as hard as we were meant to.

I am going to hurt you. You are going to hurt me.

But we will do it with practiced fingers and passionate mouths and I swear to god

it will be worth something.
