“What a fucking tapestry woven by mad and sensitive egos; sometimes, the flatulence of words blows the intention out the window, but it is just a few steps backwards. I get so near to getting into detail about people and things, then like a pinball machine, my thoughts bang off sideways to some other peg and hang there for a nanosecond only to be tossed on somewhere else. Where is that still, quiet place of examination?”

“I would think of a thousand things,
Lovely and durable, and taste them slowly,
One after one, like tasting sweet food.
I have need to busy my heart with quietude.
- The Busy Heart”

“Life can be so unpredictable, always remember that!
The rain can pour down and the winds can blow hard,
sweeping away those peaceful moments you had.
It's never the end of the world when things go wrong.
Just keep faith in yourself, keep going and stay strong.
Never give up on your dreams and never give up hope.”
