When did we become so small and so apologetic

When did we become so small and so apologetic? Why do we apologize for our humanity? Love what you love, and make no apologies. This is your identity. The most horrendous suspensions of freedom are self-imposed. We imprison ourselves daily, hourly. We have one life, one shot at all the glorious things of life, and we walk about constricted, apologetic, afraid. We have so little time, we have so little space upon which to spread our love and our talents and our kindness. Run toward life fulsomely and freely. It runs from us so quickly, like a frightened dog or youth or daylight. Chase it and care for it.

When you learn to love your own company

When you learn to love your own company, you become far more careful about whom you spend your time with.

The wind blows into my eyes

The wind blows into my eyes
sometimes it stirs my hear
to see the land so plain and beautiful.

If I sit very still
I think I can join the big mountains
in their speechless ardour.

Where no sun is visible
the hills are washed with light.
The river sings
love floats
love floats
But I have no dreams.

Impetuous heart, be still, be still,

Impetuous heart, be still, be still,
Your sorrowful love can never be told,
Cover it up with a lonely tune.

- W. B. Yeats

She had lost herself somewhere

She had lost herself somewhere along the frontier between her inventions, her stories, her fantasies and her true self.

All I really want to do is spend my life traveling the world

All I really want to do is spend my life traveling the world, reading books that takes my breath away, drinking all kinds of coffee, listen to vintage music and occasionally write something.

I mean is that too much to ask for ?.

And I go off on solitary journeys

And I go off on solitary journeys to find my own divine integrity again.

I love old things

I love old things. Modern things are so cold. I need things that have lived.

Like a wild flower, she spent her days

Like a wild flower, she spent her days, allowing herself to grow, not many knew of her struggle, but eventually all, knew of her light.
