Outside the beautiful #StanfordMemorialChurch. In awe of its architectural design, I was also amazed at its gorgeous interior. #StanfordUniversity #wheninCali #photodump #declutteringphotosstill (at Stanford University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfzatQl0hw727ZH-JPCU5xGWarGnyXDHt1SA80/?igshid=rhvcwxiuf4ng

St. Helena main street in Napa Valley looked so chic and everywhere there are fancy looking little spots like this. Currently #decluttering photos from phone. There are just too many! #photodump #spammingnow 😊😋 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfvjGklhqCWo_MdfBSaVpMUIyHyTPszfg9q_o0/?igshid=u3obepuryvbu

Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there? When did time begin, and where does space end? Isn’t life under the sun just a dream?

Wings of Desire (1987) dir. Wim Wenders

[quote-junkie]

Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.

Rest time is not wasted time. It is economy to gather fresh strength. It is wisdom to take the occasional furlough. In the long run we shall do more by doing less. #CharlesSpurgeon

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more.

I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn’t quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.
