“I don't feel at home where I am,
or where I spend time; only where,
beyond counting, there's freedom and calm,
that is, waves, that is, space where, when there,
you consist of pure freedom, which, seen,
turns that Gorgon, the crowd, to stone,
to pebbles and sand . . . where life's mean-
ing lies buried, that never let one
come within cannon shot yet.
From cloud-covered wells untold
pour color and light, a fete
of cupids and Ledas in gold.
That is, silk and honey and sheen.
That is, boon and quiver and call.
That is, all that lives to be free,
needing no words at all.”
― Regina Derieva

“From looking at your neighbor and realizing his true significance, and that he will die, pity and compassion will arise in you for him and finally you will love him.”
― G.I. Gurdjieff

“You came and you will be gone. You don’t even have to do something for it, it happens by itself. You came by itself and you will be gone by itself. So, what do you worry about?”
― Karl Renz, Worry And Be Happy: The Audacity Of Hopelessness

“you
not wanting me
was
the beginning of me
wanting myself
thank you”
