(page 17 of 448)
""Mood contagion" If a person filled with anxiety walks into a room we feel it immediately and unless we are mindful, that person's negative state will begin to overtake our own. When a joyfully expressive (love that) person walks into a room we can feel that state. When we choose to see the goodness of those before us, the dignity in them resonates with our admiration and respect. HA!!! I say to you ... Namaste." — May 14, 2014 02:27AM

“Nothing mattered much. Nothing much mattered. And the less it mattered the less it mattered. It was never important enough. Because Worse Things had happened. In the country that she came from poised forever between the terror of war and the horror of peace Worse Things kept happening”

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world. I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. That it's actually the other way around. Stories cull writers from the world. Stories reveal themselves to us. The public narrative, the private narrative - they colonize us. They commission us. They insist on being told. Fiction and nonfiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons that I don't fully understand, fiction dances out of me, and nonfiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
