“Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge.
A warrior cannot complain or regret anything.
His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad.
Challenges are simply challenges.”

- Carlos Castaneda

“If you swim effortlessly in the deep oceans, ride the waves to and from the shore,
if you can breathe under water and dine on the deep treasures of the seas;
mark my words, those who dwell on the rocks carrying nets will try to reel you into their catch.
The last thing they want is for you to thrive in your habitat because they stand in their atmosphere where they beg and gasp for some air.”

- C. JoyBell C.

“And yet she hadn't the air of a woman whose life had been touched by uncertainty or suffering. Pain, fear, and grief were things that left their mark on people. Even love, that exquisite torturing emotion, left its subtle traces on the countenance.”

― Nella Larsen, Passing

'The Load of Kale Plants' by May Blair.

I went to the fair, that being held in the town
On the fifth day of May, in the year forty-five
A very fine day for the bees for to hive.
Being young and undaunted my fortune to advance,
I went to the fair with a load of kale plants,
And up the Main Street, before Robinson’s Mart
I lowered my cart with a proud beating heart.
There were pamphreys and Dutch, and curleys so sweet,
And rousing drumheads that grow up like a leek.
There were cow kale, pull early boys, eat while you’re able
And pickle for dressing the gentleman’s table.
Now my plants were all sold, I wished them long life,
I have nothing to do but look out for a wife.
The ladies I’ll view, I’ll mark all their points,
I’ll not take a wife that is stiff in the joints.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories. George Eliot

Genesis · 02-01-2016, 12:24 AM

"The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it.
If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore;
if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water;
if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber;
if other species are biological kin, not resources;
or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity—then we will treat each other with greater respect.
Thus is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective."

- David Suzuki

Genesis · 02-01-2016, 12:25 AM

“One cannot shape the world without being reshaped in the process.
Each gain of power requires its own sacrifice.”

- Phil Hine

Genesis · 02-01-2016, 12:31 AM

“Bring me your suffering.
The rattle roar of broken bones.
Bring me the riot in your heart.
Angry, wild and raw.
Bring it all.
I am not afraid of the dark.”

- Mia Hollow
