“Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is yours alone to sing
falls into your open cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself
to this world so worthy of rescue.”
― Martha Postlethwaite

“I have spread my dreams under your feet.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
― W.B. Yeats

“The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts.”
― Alain de Botton

“We live our human lives in the lacuna between truth and meaning, between objective reality and subjective sensemaking laced with feeling. All of our longings, all of our despairs, all of our reckonings with the perplexity of existence are aimed at one or the other. In the aiming is what we call creativity, how we contact beauty- the beauty of a theorem, the beauty of a sonnet.”
― Maria Popova
