I feel like an hourglass; whole and empty at the same time. 

Navin E.

 

 

I have noticed that when all the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing – their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling – their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses. To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall, but not if I switch on the lights – then I start thinking about projects, deadlines, demands, and the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions, things that need to done, not a background to thought.

Jeanette Winterson

 

 

Don’t think. It complicates things. Just feel, and if it feels like home, then follow its path.

RM Drake

 

 

I never understood it. the way some
spend their entire lives looking
backwards. yes the future
is uncertain. but all the
past is certain of is failure.

Beau Taplin

Searching...

I tell myself I am searching for something. But more and more, it feels like I am wandering, waiting for something to happen to me, something that will change everything, something that my whole life has been leading up to.

Khaled Housseini

 

 

Uncertainty...

I want to get more comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to get more confident being uncertain. I don’t want to shrink back just because something isn’t easy. I want to push back and make more room in the area between I can’t and I can.

Kristin Armstrong

 

 

 

 

Infinity...

What sticks to memory often are those odd little fragments that have no beginning and no end…

Tim O’Brien

 

 



Uniqueness...

Respect your uniqueness and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

Osho

 

 

Sentiment...

I am awfully sentimental. Of books, belongings, people, places. It matters very little how positive or negative the experience was. If it shared some meaningful time in my life, I’ll have trouble letting go. 

Beau Taplin
