You can’t wait …
You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club.

Being deeply lo…
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
Our hurried descent
I think that we are absolute.
Falling together, we are chilled and fused together, in this-
the furious confusion.
We descend in haste, fingertips grasping and frantic.
Our plight is assured, decided. Though not by us.
We know not where we will land-
only that we will land together.
In spite of their desires.
Despite the howling, the wild hindrances,
the hurried esteem, the interference of circumstance.
Cradle me from my fear and insecurities, my love.
So that I might stare them down,
knock them off their presumptuous pedestals.
For here on this rapid hailstorm, there is only room for you and me.
With tears frozen solid against our burning cheeks.
I like it a lot better this way.
Don’t you?
Dance, when you…
Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.
Rumi
“A reader lives…

Imagination is …
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.

If you have no …
If you have no voice, scream. If you have no legs, run. If you have no hope, invent.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
