    Maira Kalman
    “The man stands behind the man.
    The seated man thinks,
    "For heaven's sake, stop standing behind me.
    You are driving me mad. It is February and it is impossible.
    Someone has thrown onion skins all over the stairwell. Now I will have to clean them up - though I love to sweep. But still, it is disgusting."
    But all he says is "I have to go soon."
    Why can't people tell the truth?
    It is impossible not to lie.
    It is February and not lying is impossible.”
    ― Maira Kalman, The Principles of Uncertainty

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
    ― Rumi

    and ask the moon to come
