Fireflies

there is a natural cycle of creativity, productivity, and rest. there is no one on the planet that can work straight through without rest. if you find yourself falling into long periods of what you perceive as laziness, i challenge you to reframe that as simply your need to rest, absorb, digest, as you prepare to work again, to create again. simply acknowledging your natural cycle will allow you to anticipate them so you can finally start working with yourself, not against.

Indulge your imagination in every possible flight.

—Jane Austen

As above, so below / As within, so without / As the universe, so the soul ...

—Hermes Trismegistus

Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it?

—Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising

Come love, make me better than I was.

Come teach me a kinder way               to say my own name.

— Andrea Gibson, from “Good Light,” Lord of the Butterflies

just thinking of how our meaning or purpose in life is merely to experience. eating an orange segment, hoping for snow, being in love, returning over and over to one painting, stepping outside for the full moon, submersion in water, having a favourite colour, knowing beauty, feeling alone, feeling connected, feeling longing… it is enough.
