The true generosity is to give in to the presence of everything.




~ Albert Camus


.
Geese appear high over us
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
.
~ Wendell Berry
.





The wine of life is oozing drop by drop,
The leaves of life are falling one by one.



~ Omar Khayyam






What is your life about, anyway?
Nothing but a struggle to be someone.
Nothing but a running from your own silence.



~ Rumi




.

Happy are those who know:

Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;

And from that source alone, the Infinite

Crosses over to gladness, and us -


Free of our bridges

Built with the stone of distinctions;

So that always, within each delight,

We gaze at what is purely single and joined.




~ Rainer Maria Rilke








One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours?
I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.


~ Khalil Gibran
