“They say don’t waste your hate,
Rather gather and create,
Be of service, be a sensible person.
Use your words and don’t be nervous.
You can do this, you’ve got purpose.
Find your medicine and use it.”

Medicine for the People - Manifesto (2012)

“We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all.”

- Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

kafka-in-wonderland:

This was a great movie.

Mostly because it was one big ode to Whitman and Thoreau and Transcendentalism. BASICALLY.

This is why I find the brain beautiful! These images were taken using Diffusor Tensor Imaging ( a process that tracks individual H+ ions through axons in the brain and color codes based on density in real time). So, what your seeing here is a visual representation of conscious thought.

Our world is a magnificent place. It’s vastness and limitlessness should be celebrated. We need to find unity and spirituality in entities that make us who we are; these elements that connect us - our subjective experience. Forget the things that build walls between us. Being able to delve into the wonders of nature, we can begin to find wholeness and compassion, rather than the need to separate ourselves from others and condemn those who think differently.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive God to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it’s still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

- Max Ehrmann

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”
- Neil Gaiman”
