Every day is a lesson about a fraction of compassion.

“…the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

“…the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

Some fill with each good rain

There are different wells within your heart.
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far too deep for that.

In one well
You have just a few precious cups of water,

That “love” is literally something of yourself,
It can grow as slow as a diamond
If it is lost.

Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,

Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife

Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.

There are different wells within us.
Some fill with each good rain,

Others are far, far too deep
For that.

— Hafiz

Brian Eno, Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978)

“This is Water: Some Thought, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life”

2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address by David Foster Wallace

Meditation: possessing vs belonging

One person cannot outrun the pace of the earth’s rotation.

Hi.

Nothing’s impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start All over again.

I mean, how many dreams do you have where you read in a dream?

“… I mean, how many dreams do you have where you read in a dream? Wait, man, there was this book I just read on the bus, well you know it was my dream so I guess I wrote it or something, but uh man, it was bizarre, it was like um, the premise for this whole book was that every thought you have, creates its own reality. You know it’s like every choice or decision you make, the thing you choose NOT to do, fractions off and becomes its own reality, you know, and it goes on from there, forever.”

Richard Linklater, opening sequence, Slacker, 1991
