“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.” ~ R. B. Fuller“In the Background”“I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar“Be not the slave of your own past – plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson“You look at where you’re going and where you are and it never makes sense, but then you look back at where you’ve been and a pattern seems to emerge.” ― Robert M.

“The past was but the cemetery of our illusions: one simply stubbed one’s toes on the gravestones.” ― Émile Zola“Happiness 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.” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne“Living, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying one’s painful self through the world. But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.”― Milan Kundera“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), It’s always our self we find in the sea.” ― E.E. Cummings“Solitude is the house of peace.” ― T.F. Hodge“…the ghosts you chase you never catch.” ― John Malkovich“I am here; and here is nowhere in particular.” ― William Golding“He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life.” – Jon KrakauerA Wave is LifeInfinite IntrospectionThe Space BetweenThe Colour of Spiritual Kinship“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” ― Ansel AdamsEndless Summer
