For agriculture
Is gleaning for nutrients--
Husbandry for souls.

I admit I'm an asshole. Now, can we get back to the conversation?

Husbandry for souls--
Salvaged from time's warp and wash,
They sing eternal.

together en masse

Bathing us with needed grace,
False starts renew us.

Rise ashes nothing
Nothing he moans?! Ah - Phoenix
Weep not - You Live On!
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”

“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”

A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”

“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

The storm that prunes but proffers
The most tender bud.

The greenest of bright green leaves:
Caterpillar bliss.

Ecologically sound.
Our bliss may not be.

anything more or less than
brief respite from pain

I pray you golden
Idoled like Venus in furs
Ends in tragedy
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
~Arab Proverb
Imageaes dhammo sanantano Pali: 'this is the eternal law'

The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

Hope springs eternal
