Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.
Emil Cioran (Thank you, yama-bato)

It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.
Sentinel soul,
Let us whisper the confession
Of the night full of nothingness
And the day on fire.
From humain approbation,
From common urges
You diverge here
And fly off as you may.
Since from you alone,
Satiny embers,
Duty breathes
Without anyone saying: at last.
Here is no hope,
No orietur.
Knowledge and fortitude,
Torture is certain.
It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.

the stars are words
Thinking of the stars night after night I begin to realize
“The stars are words”
and all the innumerable worlds in the Milky Way are words,
and so is this world too.
And I realize that no matter where I am,
whether in a little room full of thought,
or in this endless universe of stars and mountains,
it’s all in my mind.
~ Jack Kerouac, Lonesome Traveler
Thank you, Love is a Place, The Lifting of the Veil & Zero to Infinity.
words
They can be like a sun, words.
They can do for the heart
what light can
for a field.
~ St. John of the Cross
Thank you, Love is a Place.
Sailboat at Sea, Germany
Photograph by Patrick Lienin
“While hiking at Jasmund National Park in northwest Germany, a rainstorm passed by and created a stunning scene! The sea was completely flat and the only thing out there was the tiny sailing boat.”
