“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali

― Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

Birth as one slice,

What you put in-between
the slices is up to you.

We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

― Jennifer Green, Winning While Losing: The Upside of Heartbreak

“Perhaps we only leave
So we may once again arrive,

To see that everything is different
But know it's only you who's changed.”
― Erin Hanson

“I never saw myself as impulsive. No, it was never that. I was simply drawn to life — raw, untamed, unpredictable. I weighed the consequences of every action, yes... but the more uncertain the road, the more it called to me. Danger never frightened me. It fascinated me. There was always this quiet hunger within — to touch the edges, to test the limits, to dance at the border between the known and the unknown.

Looking back now, I see it clearly — I never chased a title, a destination, or some final version of myself. I never asked, "What do I want to become?" Instead, I always asked, "How do I want to live?"

Nine years I wandered through Nepal — across sacred valleys and into the silence of high mountains — not chasing answers, but learning to listen. To the wind. To strangers. To the pulse of my own heart.

I am not here to teach. I am here to remind. To guide, not by maps — but by stories, poems, and questions that stir the soul awake.

I am a traveller. A poet. A witness to the quiet revolutions within us all.”
― Avijeet Das

“You don't heal because you want to, you heal because you have to. The process of Survival is in itself a Need of Healing, and that is where Nature Teaches us, to know that every Leaf, every Droplet of Water, had a story where they renewed their Soul in another form, not out of want but out of Necessity, and sometimes that Necessity denotes losing its own self or the self it knew once. And that is where Death shows us, that it was never meant to frighten, but always meant to take us a Step Ahead in the Final Destination, of the Truest of Life, unclutched from a constant circle of struggle, from a Mirage of Happiness and Illusions of Pain, from the Deep Shadow of Life in the chains of Healings and sufferings, in Something that Our Human mind may never fathom but Our Soul already knows, as Home, as Self, as Everything in between.”
― Debatrayee Banerjee
