Nothing

Nothing can trouble you
but your own imagination.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Madness

There is no great genius
without a tincture of madness.

Learn From It

A mistake is not a mistake
if you learn from it.

Nico Montsho

No Longer

Carry thy sword until thou
canst no longer carry it.

George Fox

Three Things to Remember

As long as you're dancing,
you can break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules is
just extending the rules.
Sometimes there are no rules.

Mary Oliver

The Only Cure

I believe I know the only cure, which is to
make one's center of life inside of one's self,
not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind
of unassailable serenity - to decorate one's
inner house so richly that one is content there,
glad to welcome anyone who wants to come
and stay, but happy all the same when one is
inevitably alone.

Edith Wharton

Terrifying State of Being

To take advantage of the opportunities
afforded by solitude, a person must be
able to turn a basically terrifying state
of being into a productive one.
