Top 10 Best Quotes
“My heart beats with you, Love runs red throughout my veins, Making me alive SA Node - Haiku”
“Most of my opinions are not as informed and well rounded as I would like. I have to be humble enough to accept that I don’t know enough. If my goal is to understand something true, then being challenged is a good thing. We need to be challenged occasionally and to get out of the echo chamber that is your own philosophical group or your own confirmation biased mind. The alternative is to only be able to hear one narrative and for those who oppose that narrative to be silenced, or to have uncivil debate by two polar opposite opinions. Truth is usually found to be hidden in a field of nuance and, as Albert Maysles said, “Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance.”
“We never fully move on, We leave a piece of ourselves behind Like leaves and trunks molded into the earth And forest floor, we give what we know And others take it up and use it to grow. I stand under the shade of giants.”
“If you haven’t learned something From periods of suffering, If you haven’t wrung the juices Of your own pain and drank them For your own nourishment, You have wasted your experience And missed the chance To expand the capacity For being stronger the next time That these seasons arrive at your door.”
“You know that all I have Is all that we are So hold me close tonight Underneath a billion stars”
“We met our love in the February air And the lives we had before, They began to tear”
“To the poet, Every act is poetry; From cutting the grass, To cleaning a headstone. From walking, To breathing. Every act is something worth holding In the mind’s eye and letting go Onto paper or into the imperfect Reflective stream of memory. Every act done simply, Reminding them of their place here And the impermanence Of experience and of the moment. No matter the situation, “Yes, and this too is beautiful.” Is the mantra.”
“I hope I am more kind, patient, mindful, and forgiving than any previous days’ version.”
“I end where you begin And begin where you end; You are my Earth’s horizon And the axis on which it spins”
“To the poet, Every act is poetry; From cutting the grass, To cleaning a headstone. From walking, To breathing... ...No matter the situation, “Yes, and this too is beautiful.” Is the mantra.”
