“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”

“There, on the edge of a rock, hidden in plain sight by still water, I found an ineffable contentment. Something about the simplicity was liberating to me. I had been around the world. I had knelt before its wonders and many times felt nothing at all. But this was ordinary beauty. And maybe the smallness of such beauty made its joy easier to access.”
― Cole Arthur Riley, This Here Flesh: Spirituality, Liberation, and the Stories That Make Us

“And the question at the heart of every one was as simple as it was unanswerable: how make peace and passion rhyme?”
― Pico Iyer, The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise
