"Can we just lie down,
feel the earth spin beneath us
and breathe together?"

Happiness Is......
“Happiness is not a brilliant climax
to years of grim struggle and anxiety.
It is a long succession of little decisions
simply to be happy in the moment.”

Sailing Through The Light
The mind, this globe of awareness,
is a starry universe that when you push off with your foot,
a thousand new roads become clear,
as you yourself do at dawn, sailing through the light.
Rumi
This Is Not A Caravan Of Despair.
Come, whoever you are!
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
This is not a caravan of despair.
It doesn't matter if you've broken your vow a thousand times,
still and yet again come!
Rumi

She Was Breathing Deeply....
"She was breathing deeply, she forgot the cold, the weight of beings, the insane or static life, the long anguish of living or dying. After so many years running from fear, fleeing crazily, uselessly, she was finally coming to a halt.
At the same time she seemed to be recovering her roots, and the sap rose anew in her body, which was no longer trembling. Pressing her whole belly against the parapet, leaning toward the wheeling sky, she was only waiting for her pounding heart to settle down, and for the silence to form in her.
The last constellations of stars fell in bunches a little lower on the horizon of the desert, and stood motionless. Then, with an unbearable sweetness, the waters of the night began to fill her, submerging the cold, rising gradually to the center of her being, and overflowing wave upon wave to her moaning mouth.
A moment later, the whole sky stretched out above her as she lay with her back against the cold earth."
