“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

Coy Hall
“The stench of decayed flesh mixed with the charred village, and he wondered if he smelled the villagers or the festering wound above his ear. That was the world in which he lived - a world in which that quandary could occur to a man.”
Coy Hall, Grimoire of the Four Impostors

Dan Millman
“The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.”
Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

Ptolemy
“Mortal as I am, I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the earth.”
Ptolemy

Charles Beaumont
“A cold wind raced across the surrounding fields of wild grass, turning the land into a heaving dark-green ocean. It sighed up through the branches of cherry trees and rattled the thick leaves. Sometimes a cherry would break loose, tumble in the gale, fall and split, filling the night with its fragrance. The air was iron and loam and growth.

He walked and tried to pull these things into his lungs, the silence and coolness of them.

But someone was screaming, deep inside him. Someone was talking. ("Hunger")”
Charles Beaumont, Shock!
