“When we look up at the sky, we are trying to find the way back to ourselves” ~Jostien Gaarder

“But the sky...

cumulonimbus clouds are 

stacked 

and banked 

to the stratosphere, 

and the lowering sun 

has bronzed 

and brassed 

and blushed 

them. 

These are clouds 

to make you long 

for wings. 

These are clouds 

that leave you not knowing 

what 

to believe. 

~Michael Perry

"Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out..." ~Dave Matthews

 "What a commentary on civilization, 

when being 

alone 

is being suspect; 

when one has to 

apologize for it, 

make excuses, 

hide the fact 

that one practices it - 

like a secret 

vice." 

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning." ~Andy Warhol

"It all depends
on how we look at things,
and not on how things are in themselves.
The least of things
with a meaning
is worth more in life
than the greatest of things
without it."

~Carl Jung

"Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul." ~Marcus Aurelius

"When the superficial wearies me, 
it wearies me so much
that I need an abyss 
in order to rest." 

~Antonio Porchia
