What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realized,
the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way.
It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream.
That’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.’
Every search begins with beginner’s luck.
And every search ends with the victor’s being severely tested.

In this relationship / I bet the sea / will tire of you (before you of it).
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.

She is that maze, the one you would love to chase.
She is the faith, quite missing nowadays.
And her heart is a rave, with hopeless barricades.
She is the one, whose tears flow, just as lavishly, as her laughter roars!

I almost wish we were butterflies
and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delightthan fifty common years could ever contain.
― John Keats Art
Such a beautiful word describing the occurrence of events by chance. I like to think it’s the energy you put out into the world returning your energy with love.
― Steven Aitchison Art
Inspiration is needed in geometry, just a much as in poetry.
― Alexander Pushkin Art
The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there,
written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.
