“To travel like a bird, lightly to view | Deserts where stone gods founder in the sand, | Ocean embraced in a white sleep with land; | To escape time, always to start anew... | Hooded by a dark sense of destination... | Travelers, we're fabric of the road we go; We settle, but like feathers on time's flow.” LightDarkSleepWhiteViewsLandOceanBirdFlowStonesDesertSettlingSandDestinationFoundersFabricTravelerFeathersStarting Anew Book:The Complete Poems of C.

“Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on the beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about more and more things you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps, and can only sit and stare at the gentle movements of the ocean waves or security guards, thinking too hard bout too many things to do anything else.” ThinkingWayLifeFeelsHardBitsWalksStepsDoorsRocksSecurityExampleMovementOceanStonesWeightAddGlassesWaveBeachGentleStaringThings To DoMuseumsLiableSecurity GuardsOcean Wave Author:Daniel Handler

“I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories.” StillsEarthMotherFallMemoriesGoneCuttingMetsOceanStonesDiedLipsGuidesThis LifeStreamsCliffsRichnessChairmanMother Died Author:Arthur Golden
“Years! Years, ye shall mix with me! Ye shall grow a part Of the laughing Sea; Of the moaning heart Of the glittered wave Of the sun-gleam's dart In the ocean-grave.
