I freaking love Rilke!  So much so, I was planning to name my first daughter after her...

Well I never spawned a daughter, but I did find this quote that has been shaking my tree for the last few days...

 

The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.  ~Yeats

It's better to light a candle,

than to complain about the darkness

my son in college was complaining about his (3) roommates turning on lights when he was in bed.  So I sent him an eye mask and wrote: 'Better to blow out a candle than complain about the light'.

Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
When you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.

~ Ajahn Chah ~

Although I do like that, he really does need a shave and a haircut.

No way!  Let it go... let it grow baby!

I started growing my mane back again last year... it's coming along nicely now.

I've been shaved bald for the last twenty years or so, but it's time to regrow the viking and let it flow!

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.  To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~ R Buckminster Fuller

The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
