"Maybe it's just hiding ...."

Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow.

Haruki Murakami

"I am made ...."

I am made of all that I have seen (...)

Would not it be best to leave room to mystery?

Henri Matisse

"And it is you, spirit ...."

And it is you, spirit - with will and energy, and virtue and purity - that I want, not alone with your brittle frame.

Charlotte Bronte

"Spring comes with its flowers ...."

Spring comes with its flowers, autumn with the moon,

summer with breezes, winter with snow;

when useless things don't stick in the mind,

that is your best season.

Wumen Huikai, Wumenguan (The Gateless Gate)

"Adventure gets you into a feeling ...."

Adventure gets you into a feeling level and keeps the mind at bay.  Allow your imagination and feelings to follow whatever image moves you.… It is a matter of using all that is around you, merging your senses with the world like an animal or child would do to find the clarity you seek.  Once again, the key is to loosen up.  Where curiosity and playful discovery are the focus of activity, there’s little opportunity to fail.

Joan Erikson
