โThe past was but the cemetery of our illusions: one simply stubbed one’s toes on the gravestones.โ โ รmile ZolaโHappiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.โ โ Nathaniel HawthorneโLiving, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying oneโs painful self through the world. But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.โโ Milan KunderaโFor whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It’s always our self we find in the sea.โ โ E.E. CummingsโSolitude is the house of peace.โ โ T.F. Hodge“…the ghosts you chase you never catch.โ โ John MalkovichโI am here; and here is nowhere in particular.โ โ William GoldingโHe was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life.” – Jon KrakauerA Wave is LifeInfinite IntrospectionThe Space BetweenThe Colour of Spiritual KinshipโWhen words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.โ โ Ansel AdamsEndless Summer
