“The fruit of all unhelpful views is the destruction of peace of mind.” Downward Dog

 “The magic of purpose and of love in its purest form. Not television love, with its glare and hollow and sequined glint; not sex and allure, all high shoes and high drama, everything both too small and in too much excess, but just love. Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine, like a surprise found in your pocket.”

― Deb Caletti, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart

“All Heaven and Earth
Flowered white obliterate...
Snow...unceasing snow”

― Hashin, Japanese Haiku

*****************************

“I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on,
The windows and the stars illumined, one by one,
The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily,
And the moon rises and turn them silver. I shall see
The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass.
And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass,
I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight,
And build me stately palaces by candlelight.”

― Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal
