There was a reason

 There was a reason

she was so romantic about the moon.

It never asked her questions or begged for the answers,

nor did she have to prove herself to it.

It was always just there,

breathing, shining,

and in ways most humans can't understand:

listening.

Christopher Pointdexte

Loucura das Paixões

 Preferi sempre a loucura das paixões à sabedoria da indiferença.

Anatole France

Sometimes I’m terrified

 

Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.

Edgar Allan Poe

black and white

 Don't define your world in black and white

because there is so much hidding amongst the greys...

You are here to risk your heart.

 You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Louise Erdrich

f you're going to

 f you're going to be passionate about something, be passionate about learning.

If you're going to fight something, fight for those in need.

If you're going to question something, question authority.

If you're going to lose something, lose your inhibitions.

If you're going to gain something, gain respect and confidence.

And if you're going to hate something, hate the false idea that you are not capable of your dreams.

Daniel Golston 

The simplest questions

 

The simplest questions are the most profound.

Where were you born?

Where is your home?

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

Richard Bach
