I will never be able to be here again. As the minutes slide by, I move on. The flow of time is something I cannot stop. I haven't a choice. I go. One caravan has stopped, another starts up. There are people I have yet to meet, others I'll never see again. People who are gone before you know it, people who are just passing through. Even as we exchange hellos, they seem to grow transparent. I must keep living with the flowing river before my eyes.

Banana Yoshimoto, Moonlight Shadow

Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say"Look!" and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.

Mary Oliver, from Evidence (via violentwavesofemotion)

To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things.

Isaac Asimov

And Joy is Everywhere; It is in the Earth’s green covering of grass; In the blue serenity of the Sky; In the reckless exuberance of Spring; In the severe abstinence of gray Winter; In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame; In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright; In Living; In the exercise of all our powers; In the acquisition of Knowledge;

- Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941 Nobel Prize in Literature, 1913

For all is like an ocean, all flows and connects; touch it in one place and it echoes at the other end of the world.

Awake, my dear. Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast fields of Light, And let it breathe.

The path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.

Once in a while, it really hits people that they don’t have to experience life in the way they have been told to.
