On Woe

"There is wisdom that is woe," wrote Melville of Ecclesiastes, "but there is woe that is madness."

Quote by Herman Melville in Moby Dick, quoted in Half-Life: Reflections from Jerusalem on a Broken Neck, by Joshua Prager.

I love this song!

Frozen

Love is a bird, she needs to fly

Let all the hurt inside of you die

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

Grace

“Thus Gotama [Buddha] walked toward the town to gather alms, and the two samanas recognized him solely by the perfection of his repose, by the calmness of his figure, in which there was no trace of seeking, desiring, imitating, or striving, only light and peace.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Examined reflections in all their intricacies

Excerpt from Zinky Boys

Sometimes I think we don't need our eyes -- after all, you close them anyhow when the most important things are going on, and when you're feeling really good. A painter needs his eyes because that's the way he earns his living, but I've learnt to live without them. I sense my world now, and words mean more to me than they do to you sighted people.
