Darker Days
Every year we have been witness to it: how the world descends into a rich mash, in order that it may resume. And therefore who would cry out
to the petals on the ground to stay, knowing, as we must, how the vivacity of what was, is married
to the vitality of what will be? I don’t say it’s easy, but what else will do
if the love one claims to have for the world be true? So let us go on
though the sun be swinging east, and the ponds be cold and black, and the sweets of the year be doomed.
Mary Oliver, Lines Written in the Days of Growing Darkness
Don’t get in the way
We have been given bad advice about the ego.
We know we need it
but we think we are it.

Miracles
Only a total dance, an authentic love, a whole-hearted joy, may perhaps create some miracles around you.
But you will not be the one who has done them; you will not be the one who can brag about them.
They will happen only when you are not.
Osho
Time for what is essential
Not just writers, but politicians, journalists and most of modern distracted society…
Most writers waste people’s time with too many words. I’m trying to reduce everything down to the minimum.
My last work will be a blank piece of paper.
