~Marcel Proust

"The pleasure in rooting for Goliath is that you can expect to win. The pleasure in rooting for David, while you don't know what to expect, you at least stand a chance of being inspired,"

"It’s dark because you are trying too hard.

Lightly child, lightly.

Learn to do everything lightly.

Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.

Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.

When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.

No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.

And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.

So throw away your baggage and go forward.

There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.

That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered."

- Aldous Huxley, Island

Genesis · 05-31-2018, 09:58 AM

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

Drumsound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says,
"I know you're tired,
but come. This is the way."

Are you jealous of the ocean's generosity?
Why would you refuse to give this joy to anyone?

Fish don't hold the sacred liquid in cups!
They swim the huge fluid freedom.

- Rumi
