A Fleeting Moment

A Fleeting Moment
Kay Lynn Gabaldon

“Life is made up of a collection of moments that are not ours to keep.
The pain we encounter throughout our days spent on this earth
comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto.
Clinging to people and experiences that were never ours
in the first place is what causes us to miss out
on the beauty of the miracle that is the now.
All of this is yours, yet none of it is.
How could it be? Look around you.
Everything is fleeting.”
― Rachel Brathen

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.

Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.

Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”

I AM

Little Miss Anna
Jack Hoier

“I am a tale, I am a book, written in different languages and styles.

I can’t be read, can’t be understood, neither by me nor the greatest of minds.

I am too big, I am too small, to be processed or seen by the naked eye.

I am too dim, I am too bright, to appear in the shadows or the sunshine.”

The Current

Water
Hans Vink

“Water does not resist. Water flows.

When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress.

Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you.

But water always goes where it wants to go,

and nothing in the end can stand against it.

Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone.

Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water.

If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

― Margaret Atwood

When The Sea Speaks

Rough Sea 4
Giovanni Allievi

“The winds, the sea, and the moving tides are what they are.

If there is wonder and beauty and majesty in them,

science will discover these qualities...

If there is poetry about the sea, it is not because it is deliberately put there,

because no one can write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”

The High Road

The Cat That Walked by Himself
Anna Kudriavtseva

“There are few pursuits more rewarding than lifting the hearts of your fellow man.
When you lift up someone who has fallen down, you show them you care.
When you help lift the load off of someone in need, you show them they count.
When you help lift the burden off of a person going through a tough time,
you show them a way out, a way up, and a way off of the low road once and for all.
When you constantly search for the best in others, something amazing occurs.
You find it. And you help them discover it as well.
When you persistently seek the goodness in those all around you,
something remarkable takes place.
That goodness is revealed to everyone around.
When you continually lift others off of the low road and into a happier and healthier place,
something incredible happens.
You discover a peace between you that words can scarcely describe
- a peace that only the high road provides.”

- Martin Luther King

Undercover Cowgirl

seventy-second
Anton Tokarev

“She is an American by birth, a cowgirl by choice.

Her clothes don’t make her a cowgirl; it's her attitude and heart.

Sometimes a cowgirl has to do what a cowboy can't.

The best way to handle her is to saddle up, shut up and hold on tight.

If you can't handle the ride, don't climb into the chute.”

When Perception Traverses Infinity

Universes
Sol Marrades

“We see that in the organic world, to the same degree that reflection gets darker 

and weaker, grace grows ever more radiant and dominant. 

But just as two lines intersect on one side of a point, 

and after passing through infinity, suddenly come together again 

on the other side; or the image in a concave mirror suddenly reappears 

before us after drawing away into the infinite distance, so too, 

does grace return once perception, as it were, has traversed the infinite

--such that it simultaneously appears the purest in human bodily structures 

that are either devoid of consciousness or which possess an infinite consciousness, 

such as in the jointed manikin or the god.”

― Heinrich von Kleist

A Symphony of Light

Music Lesson MMXV
Karol Szjeko Zeiko

“By exchanging notes, you get to know one another, to understand one another.

As if your souls were connected and your hearts were overlapping.

It's a conversation through instruments.

A miracle that creates harmony. In that moment, music transcends words.”

The Lightless Mystery Of The Earth

Untitled
Karol Szejko Zeiko

“Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip
into the visionary end of the dark-sight.
The rose shadows said that they loved the sun,
but that they also loved the dark,
where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth.
The roses said: You do not have to choose. ”

Liberation

AgiA
Ochalingga Yosa Sunjaya

"What happens when life breaks down?

When there is systemic contradiction.

My name symbolized all that was corrupt to society.

His name symbolized all that was pure.

And I was being held in the embrace of a man who was pure.

And these inviable sanctities were preserved in those ten words.

And it is the DE secularization of all of these

that has put us in the mess that we find ourselves.

Isn’t it true, alas it is much worse; a person may end up believing in anything?

Think of what it is when God himself puts his arms around you and says, welcome home."

The Magician

Top Hat
J. Peterson

“You don't have to question whether your love is strong just because it seems like it.
You can also look to create miracles in your own life
by ramping up the amount of love you're feeling.
It's all about letting someone know that your love is so strong
that it can take on anything.
Love is the magician that pulls a man out of his own hat.”

Dark Water
felix rusli

“It is said by the Eldar that in water

there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur

more than in any substance that is in this Earth;

and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken

still unsated to the voices of the Sea,

and yet know not for what they listen.”
