““Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.””

— Homer, The Iliad

“When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”

— Ram Dass

“…but what I like doing best is Nothing.” “How do you do Nothing?” asked Pooh, after he had wondered for a long time. […] “It means just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”

— A.A. Milne

If it speaks to your heart, allow space for that.

No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

(Dead Poets Society, 1989)

I am still a child. I am still curious about the silliest things. I am still afraid when people ask me what I want in life because I don’t know what I want in life. Everything perhaps?
