“So you find yourself surrounded by death and horror in the world, and you escape it into lust. But lust has no duration; it leaves you again in the desert.” Hermann Hesse

“Happiness is permanent. It is always there. What comes and goes is unhappiness. If you identify with what comes and goes, you will be unhappy. If you identify with what is permanent and always there, you are happiness itself.”

“I lied and said I was busy; but not in a way most people understand. I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself I am OK.”

“Remain continuously on a honeymoon. Go on searching and seeking each other, finding new ways of loving each other, finding new ways of being with each other. And each person is such an infinite mystery, inexhaustible, unfathomable, that it is not possible that you can ever say, ‘I have known her,’ or, ‘I have known him.’ At the most you can say, ‘I have tried my best, but the mystery remains a mystery.’ In fact the more you know, the more mysterious the other becomes. Then love is a constant adventure.”

“A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy. The moment we start acting like life is a blessing I assure you it will start to feel like one.”

This how we dismissing negativity in 2018
Wow, so raw but that’s exactly how it feels. Beautifully poised!
this feels like a new page
something in permanence
concrete in its optimism
I am made anew, made by self
and in hopeful image
I care for this new host
as I would a friend, an injured bird
and praise its immortality
its liquid movement
its exhilarating strength
its necessary softness
this feels new to me
something brilliant and other
this pulsing, pulsating way
that you can care for yourself
and champion its tiny victories
praise its waking ability
to carry on upright
loved, and loving
(“mother fucker
you will love yourself
I promise”)
