“Second only to the sea, the Miami sky has been the greatest comfort in my life past 50. On a good day, when the wind blows from the south, the light here is diffuse and forgiving.” Has BeensLightPastSeaSkyWindComfortForgivingSouthBlowGood DayMiami Author:Iggy Pop

“I am a futility. The life of prayer begins with that. And God is not a comfort, to be offered like Kleenex. God is a poisoned sea, with broken syringes washing up on the beach. God is shopping malls stretching to the horizon and warplanes in the sky. God is a flat tire in a rainstorm and beer cans in the ditch, a bottle shattered on a highway and the taste of gunmetal in your mouth.” PrayerSeaSkyBrokenComfortTasteMouthsBeerBeachFlatsHorizonBottlesShoppingTireHighwaysWashingShatteredStretchingFutilityMallsRainstormsFlat TiresKleenex Author:Tim Farrington

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” HomeDreamForceLosesSleepImagineAirSeaSkyBalanceComfortTravelEssentialsEternalAll ThingsSightStrangerFamiliarWanderAround The WorldTime TravelTraveledTravelerBrutalityTravel WritingGreat TravelInspiring TravelTravel The WorldTravel AdventureAdventure And TravelLife Is An AdventurePhotography And TravelInspirational AdventureRoads TraveledLife AdventureAdventure And LifeBackpackingTravel AbroadTravel JourneyRoads And JourneysInspirational Adventure TimeSea And SkyCosta RicaSleep DreamFeet And TravelTravel And LoveFamiliar ThingsComfort Of HomeLove AdventureStrangers And FriendsWeary Traveler Author:Cesare Pavese
“I stopped wanting to float away from my life, because in the end my life was all I had. I'd walk the Fairmont campus and look up to the sky and I wouldn't see myself drifting off like some lost balloon. Instead I saw the size of the world and found comfort in its hugeness. I'd think back to those times when I felt like everything was closing in on me, those times when I thought I was stuck, and I realized that I was wrong. There is always hope. The world is vast and meant for wandering. There is always somewhere else to go.” ThinkingWorldLooksEndsFoundLostFeltWalksSawsSkyComfortSizeI RealizedStuckWanderLook UpFloatsSomewhere ElseClosingCampusDriftingBalloonsDrifting Off Author:Nick Burd
“Love is ease, love is comfort, love is support and respect. Love is not punishing or controlling. Love lets you grow and breathe. Love's passion is only good passion -- swirling-leaves-on-a-fall-day passion, a-sky-full-of-magnificent-stars passion -- not angst and anxiety. Love is not hurt and harm. Love is never unsafe. Love is sleeping like puzzle pieces. It's your own garden you protect; it's a field of wildflowers you move about in both freely and together.” TogetherMovingFallPassionStarsGrowsHurtSleepLove IsSupportPiecesSkyFieldsComfortProtectAnxietyGardenBreatheHarmEaseMagnificentPuzzlesAngstUnsafeWildflowersLove RespectPuzzle Piece Author:Deb Caletti
“The sky was a cold iron-grey, like the underside of a shield. A sharp breeze lifted the hems of skirts and rattled the leaves on the immature trees; a spiteful, chill wind that sought out your weakest places, the nape of your neck and your knees, and which denied you the comfort of dreaming, of retreating a little from reality.” LittlesDreamRealityTreeSkyWindColdComfortKneesNecksIronDeniedGreyBreezeChillShieldsSkirtsImmatureSpitefulHem Author:J.

“As he looked up at the clouds or down at the precipice, he realized that this woman was the most important thing in his life; that she was the explanation, the sole reason for the existence of those rocks, that sky, that winter. If she were not there with him, it wouldn't matter if all the angels of heaven came flying down to comfort him--Paradise would make no sense.” IfsImportantMatterReasonHeavenExistenceSkyRocksComfortAngelImportant ThingsWinterCloudsFlyingExplanationParadiseSolePrecipiceBrida Author:Paulo Coelho
