peacefulness!
When you renounce the world, the world comes to you. When you don’t expect something, it comes to you.
“Peace is not always easy to grasp or keep close. In the process of attaining and protecting it, you may find yourself tired, weary, and uncertain on how to keep your peace safe. While being uncertain is normal, continue to commit yourself to peacefulness. You are worthy of every drop of sweetness and ease that you encounter. Being tested is a part of the journey. Giving up, and letting go, is not.”
― Alex Elle
river unfolding
I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.”
― John O’Donohue
time fences
“Much of what we assume are “natural” units of time are really fences our ancestors constructed in order to corral time. Seconds, hours, and weeks are all human inventions.”
― Daniel H. Pink, When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing
great passions
“Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things.”
-Denis Diderot
embrace reflection
“Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul like you.”
― Shannon L. Alder
the poem you want to be.
“You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be.”
― Charlotte Eriksson
pliable
“A man is born gentle and weak; at his death, he is hard and stiff. All things, including the grass and trees, are soft and pliable in life; dry and brittle in death. Stiffness is thus a companion of death; flexibility a companion of life. An army that cannot yield will be defeated. A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. The hard and stiff will be broken; the soft and supple will prevail.”
Lao Tzu
Soul in a volume
I believe the below is true with any form of art or work. In the same adaptation coherent with the below quote, every slice of what you see here from the subtle nuances to the colors chosen to the illustrations and photographs to the themes that we explore, they have my heart and soul in them with which they’ve been dreamt on and conceived. Every time beautiful people like you skim through, its spirit grows and strengthens. Grateful for your glance here.
“Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind
endless horizons
That’s about five days of some writers block here and we’re back with endless horizons. That’s the merriment of a canvas with infinite possibilities of creative expression with brushes and colors of imagination. This is the canvas of hope, the canvas of the border of my mind. Grateful for your glance on these lines.
“The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
― Christopher McCandless
