Where to bang your head
"Alone, I often fall down into nothingness.
I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness.
I have to bang my head against some hard floor to call myself back to the body."
- Virginia Woolf
The Waves
Hypnotized
Has anyone ever figured out why the sea is so hypnotizing?
Why does it draw you in and refuse to let go?

Real
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes"

Pondering
About a week ago, we met this little guy.
He remained deep in thought throughout our entire encounter.
What was he thinking?

Wondrous thing
"The serenity of the lulling ocean is a wondrous thing to behold...
more precious than the gems coveted and covered in platinum or gold."

Don't...
Don't let your fears win.
Don't overthink things.
Don't lose hope.
Don't let the world diminish you.
Don't forget to make memories.
Don't forget to give of your soul.
Don't judge.
Don't criticize what you don't understand.
Don't be afraid to start over.
Don't let someone else create your world. It will always be too small.
Don't let the opinion of others consume you.
Don't settle for mediocre.
Don't look at the exterior. A poor coat can hide a rich heart.
Don't give up.
Don't sell out.
Don't do anything today that will darken tomorrow.
Don't take everything so seriously.
And
Don't expect mangoes when you plant papayas.

The Echo of a Soul
"Let me be a free man.
Free to travel,
Free to stop.
Free to work,
Free to trade where I choose.
Free to choose my own teachers,
Free to follow the religion of my fathers,
Free to talk, think and act for myself,
And I will obey every law or submit to the penalty."
- Chief Joseph

Abandoned
"I left... Crossing the street I was hit head-on by a brutal loneliness. I felt dark and hollow. Abandoned, unnoticed, forgotten, I stood on the sidewalk, a nothing, a gatherer of dust. People hurried past me and everyone who walked by was happier than I. I felt the old envy. I would've given anything to be one of them."
- Nicole Krauss

Something throbs, and gleams...
"I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams..."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
