Trying to find my way in this existence, to experience all the beauty this life has to give, and share that beauty and what I discover in my seeking with the world around me.
"If you want to see the heroic, look at those who can love in return for hatred. If you want to see the brave, look for those who can forgive." - Bhagavad Gita

"The mind constantly runs
After wandering senses,
It drives wisdom away, like the wind blowing a ship off course."

“When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life flows.”

'When I am among the trees...
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I... never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”'
