“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. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

“In it.”

“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also If I am to be whole”
― C.G. Jung

“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“All the effort in the world won’t matter if you’re not inspired.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

“Two”

“The only journey is the one within.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“No Damage”

“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 Krakauer

A Wave is Life

Infinite Introspection

The Space Between

The Colour of Spiritual Kinship

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
― Ansel Adams
