The whole truth... sings only -and all lovers are the song
suppose Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.
Take the matter of being born. What does being born mean to most people?
when man determined to destroy himself he picked the was of shall and finding only why smashed it into because.
Lovers alone wear sunlight.
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
There are certain things in which one is unable to believe for the simple reason that he never ceases to feel them. Things of this sort - things which are always inside of us and in fact are us and which consequently will not be pushed off or away where we can begin thinking about them - are no longer things; they, and the us which they are, equals A Verb; an IS.
Unbeing dead isn't being alive.
life's not a paragraph And death i think is no parenthesis
We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
love is the every only god
may I be I is the only prayer--not may I be great or good or beautiful or wise or strong.
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
