“Margo always loved mysteries.
And in everything that came afterward,
I could never stop thinking that
maybe
she loved mysteries so much
that she became one.”

Mind Fragments
 |
| Like a prison Mirjam Delrue |
“For, after all, you do grow up,
you do outgrow your ideals,
which turn to dust and ashes, which are shattered into fragments;
and if you have no other life, you just have to build one up out of these fragments.
And all the time your soul is craving and longing for something else.
And in vain does the dreamer rummage about in his old dreams,
raking them over as though they were a heap of cinders,
looking in these cinders for some spark, however tiny,
to fan it into a flame so as to warm his chilled blood
by it and revive in it all that he held so dear before, all that touched his heart,
that made his blood course through his veins,
that drew tears from his eyes, and that so splendidly deceived him!”

“It is said by the Eldar that in
water their 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.”

The Prisoner
 |
| Melancholoic side of a clown Birgit Friebel |
“Ester asked why people are sad.
"That’s simple," says the old man.
"They are the prisoners of their personal history.
Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan.
They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person.
They accumulate experiences, memories, things,
other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with.

Day Dreams

| The dreams left to me Sol Marrades |
“People think dreams aren't real
just because they aren't made of matter, of particles.
Dreams are real.
But they are made of viewpoints,
of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.”

“Dare to Be
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can.
At all times, Dare to be!”
― Steve Maraboli

Undercover Cowgirl
“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.”

I daresay you haven't
had much practice,' said the Queen.
'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day.
Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
There goes the shawl again!”
Lewis Carroll

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.”

“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.”
