“It is not revolutions and upheavals that clear the road to better days,
but revelations, and the lavishness of someone’s soul inspired and ablaze.”

“Envying another’s beauty will diminish your own.
But when you praise beauty in others your own beauty deepens.”

~Bukowksi on Whitman
“when Whitman wrote, “I sing the body electric”
I know what he
meant
I know what he
wanted:
to be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.
we can’t cheat death but we can make it
work so hard
that when it does take
us
it will have known a victory just as
perfect as
ours”
~ Charles Bukowski
~Tempus Fugit
“They are not long,
the days of wine and roses.
Out of a misty dream,
our path emerges for a while,
then closes,
within a dream.”

~ a simple secret…
“The simple secret of happiness.
Whatever you are doing, don’t let the past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.”
~ Osho
~ Friendship
I was asked, “Tell me what is more beautiful as flowers in the sunlight?”
To which I responded, a genuine friendship.

“We think we understand the rules when we become adults,
