“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.”

the days of wine and roses.
Out of a misty dream,
our path emerges for a while,

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
~ The best people… Ernest Hemingway

~Whoever finds love
Lovers find secret places…
“Whoever finds love
beneath hurt and grief
disappears into emptiness
with a thousand new disguises…
Lovers find secret places
inside this violent world
where they make transactions
with beauty.”
