“Inside of us, there's a continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water.” Quote by Rumi
“In this mob of I's inside, which one is me? Hear me out. I know I'm wandering, but don't start putting a lid on this racket. No telling what I'll do then. Every moment I'm thrown by your story. One moment it's happy, and I'm singing. One moment it's sad, and I'm weeping. It turns bitter, and I pull away. But then you spill a little grace, and just like that, I'm all light. It's not so bad, this arrangement, actually.” KnowsLittlesMomentsStoriesLightTurnsGraceSingingBitterWanderThrownArrangementsWeepingSpillsRacket Author:Rumi

“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne. Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.” ThinkingNeedsLittlesSometimesPurposeBornTeachingInspireDrinkWineDeeperAlcoholInvisibleDrunkBeerPermanentDelicateSoberAlcoholismChampagneIntoxication Author:Gilbert K.
