Once we believe in ourselves,
we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight,
or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

Sunday quote: No longer striving
For to know nothing is nothing,
not to want to know anything likewise,
but to be beyond knowing anything,
to know you are beyond knowing anything,
that is when peace enters in.
Samuel Beckett, Molloy
Take the Present
Leucon, no one’s allowed to know his fate,
Not you, not me: don’t ask, don’t hunt for answers
In tea leaves or palms. Be patient with whatever comes.
This could be our last winter, it could be many
More, pounding the Tuscan Sea on these rocks:
Do what you must, be wise, cut your vines
And forget about hope. Time goes running, even
As we talk.
Take the present, the future’s no one’s affair.
Horace, 65 – 8 BC, Ode 1, 11
Mirth
Life is serious all the time, but living cannot be.
You may have all the solemnity you wish in your neckties, but in anything important (such as sex, death, and religion), you must have mirth or you will have madness.
G.K. Chesterton
Sunday Quote: Approach to life
To play a wrong note is insignificant;
to play without passion is inexcusable.
Beethoven
Sunday quote: In the depths
The shape of each soul is different.
There is a secret destiny for each person.
We need to return to the solitude within, to find again the dream that lies at the hearth of the soul.
John O’Donohue
