“Should you be gone, I think of others not,
my mind in, like a wife, your spot,
when you’re here, I feel you close,
since one we are, elan of, you just give me dose;
when we are together, the world is for us,
each-other to gaze at, true rapture feeling, plus;
when we’re gone, the world will still be here,
love there will still be, yet others with, that’s clear…”

“Books leave gestures in the body; a certain way of moving, of turning, a certain closing of the eyes, a way of leaving, hesitations. Books leave certain sounds, a certain pacing; mostly they leave the elusive, which is all the story. They leave much more than the words. Words can be thrown together. It is their order and when they catch you - their time.”

“Her mind was a mess
Trying to find it's way through unwavering feelings
What could she have done
So many faces but none as appealing as his
Stuck in a place where his face is imprinted in her memory, his scent captured in her heart of memories and all this time his unaware of a woman madly insanely crazy for him”
“Wonder is not an exterior destination to arrive at, like a mountaintop view, or a once in a lifetime concert. Those experiences may bring that feeling. But wonder is an internal filter through which we learn to look at life.
This filter is always there, but it is most easily accessible to us in new situations, when we don't have a narrative about what's happening yet. If we want to feel the rapturous experience of being alive more often, then removing the filter of familiarity is the practice we most need to adopt.”

Sappiamo che un mondo senza dolore è un mondo senza sentimento... ma un mondo senza sentimento è un mondo senza dolore.”
