Events in Time & Space

“Time exists in order that it doesn’t happen all at once… space exists so that it doesn’t all happen to you.”

Life

Let everything happen to you.
Beauty and terror.
Just keep going.
No feeling is final .

~Rainer Maria Rilke

Tempest and Calm

“To paint peasant life one has to be master of such an enormous number of things. But on the other hand — I know of nothing that one works on with such peace, in the sense of peace of mind, even when one has a great struggle in material things.”

Vincent van Gogh ‪#‎OnThisDay‬ 1885.

Uncertainty

Although the road is never ending, take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance. On this path let the heart be your guide for your body is hesitant and full of fear. ~ Rumi
