Henry David Thoreau On Death
Most people know that we must follow our divine path. However, there are moments when, listening to other people’s story, we grow weary of our path. We live constantly watching the lives of other people. One must learn to live devoted to his own life. Although this knowledge sits within my mind I collapsed from […]
Henry David Thoreau On Friendship
Without my friends I would be dead. Although, since they always tell me about my life or death mindset let me be a little more realistic, I would be confused about the trauma I’ve overcome, discourage in facing problems I’ve dealt with many times, hopeless over the necessity to always fight for a better life. […]
Henry David Thoreau On Living Presently.
Man is forced to confront himself when every distraction is gone. Man can only hear himself when every addiction is placed to the side. Being blinded by our addictions, and limited by our self imposed prisons we forget our beauty. We forget the power in our tongue, and value of our being. The only reality […]
Henry David Thoreau On Love.
The most valuable aspect of friendship, literature, and every spontaneous, and unexpected, furrawn is that strangers slowly pull away the veil of anonymity. Conversations providing insight into our psychology is a banality, but meditation is the root of all conversations. When we converse deeply, honestly, and without distractions we are listening to ourselves just as […]
Joseph Campbell On Spiritual Rebirth
Sometimes the only way to recognize we’ve aged is through the news of a baby cousins graduation, random aches throughout the body, and photographs that moments trapped in memory. Photographs reveal the illusive nature of time; revealing that with every choice we make the earth shall continue to spin around the sun. I found a […]
Anais Nin On Faith
The energy beyond our eyes speaks in metaphors, symbols, synchronicities, and dreams, for only a few can bear the naked truth. The wisdom that produces all art requires a complete surrendering, and allowance of the flow of time only reflected in the absurd nature of dreams. Revealing a truth we may not be ready to […]
Anais Nin On Dreaming
It is easy to forget that we are being guided by something that vibrates beyond our eyes. Dream serve the purpose of guiding us toward what we want. Without dreaming, or wishing, life ceases to have meaning, and the hours become wasted. This life can easily become monotonous, regimented, lifeless, predictable, and move towards an […]
Anais Nin on Faith
In a world that always seems to conspire against our growth we must maintain faith in the purposefulness of our suffering. Believing every suffering, pain, and discomfort contains a blessing and a lesson. We put an immense amount of pressure on our future selves, and intensely judge our past selves, but in order to live […]
Alain De Botton On Happiness
Maybe because we’ve grown accustomed to our poverty, become acquainted with our loneliness, and developed such an intimate relationship with our sadness we are unable to accept the possibility, and actuality, of being happy. A small part of ourselves may struggle believing its deserved, strangely fearing the life we deeply crave. We are so quick […]
The Practice Of Stillness
The problem at the heart of all our anguish is our inability to be silent. It proves itself through our inability to turn off every electronic. Like most of the problems that prevent our peace, it has everything to do with our mind. Our most definite chance of fostering growth in order is found through […]
