“If you are looking for me
I am beyond nowhere [ … ]
Beyond nowhere there is a place desire opens
like an umbrella,
breeze like thirst sinks deep into the leaves.
Bells of rain carol fresh watery tunes
about how lonely humans are here
where the shadows of tree trunks stream into
endlessness.
If you are looking for me,
come soft and quietly, lest you crack the glass
heart
that cups my loneliness.”
― The Oasis of Now: Selected Poems

“To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much
Just remember two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.”
― Rubaiyat

“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
