Everything is connected. Darkness and art can converge on the same paths. Can an intersection be both a start and an end? Yes. On to quotes:
“Pursue some path,
however narrow and crooked,
which you can walk with love and reverence.”
~~Henry David Thoreau
“Be kind and loving to all, even those you disdain.
You may comprehend love in its purest form.”
~~ME
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness.”
~~Psalm 23
“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his nature into his pictures.”
~~Henry Ward Beecher
“The higher we go in the mountains,
the milkier becomes the Milky Way.”
~~John Muir
“A serpent cowers in it’s hole,
Then boldly gains prey with venomous strike,
A man falters only when he hides his true soul,
This makes he and the snake alike,
For man to achieve and begin,
He must grow beyond his mere skin.”
~~ME
“The present is a fulcrum on which the future and the past lie balanced.”
~~Jonathan Schell
“Thus night fell.
Yesterday as well.
The sun went down behind the mountain peaks and bells rang.”
~~Eifuku Mon’in
“The grave is but a covered bridge leading from light to light, through a brief darkness.”
~~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.
That will be the beginning.”
~~Louis L’Amour
“Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all…And I saw the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.”
~~Black Elk
I am humbled.
