I see you

I see people before they see me seeing them!

"To live is to feel oneself lost. Those who accept it have already begun to find themselves, to be on firm ground."

- Jose Ortega y Gasset

"The earth is a divine being far greater than any ordinary thoughts can fathom. And there are degrees and there are depths to the divine, impossible to imagine."

- Peter Kingsley

"What is required of us is that we love the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us. Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are."

- Rilke, 'Letters, Vol. I: 1892-1910'

Bataille

"To speak, to think … is to evade existence: it is not to die but to be dead. Descartes' little affirmation is the most subtle of escapes."

- Georges Bataille, Inner Experience

Hesse

"Everyone had only one true vocation: to find himself. Let him wind up as a poet or a madman, as a prophet or a criminal—that wasn't his business; in the long run, it was irrelevant. His business was to discover his own destiny, not just any destiny, and to live it totally and undividedly. Anything else was just a half-measure, an attempt to run away, an escape back to the ideal of the masses, an adaptation, fear of one's own nature."

- Hermann Hesse, Demian

"Every time I take my camera out of my bag, it is like drawing a sword to combat indifference, injustice and discrimination and trying to get rid of stereotypes."

Corky Lee

Fernando Pessoa

If I could sink my teeth into the whole earth
And actually taste it,
I'd be happier for a moment…
But I don't always want to be happy.
To be unhappy now and then
Is part of being natural.
Not all days are sunny,
And when rain is scarce, we pray for it.
And so I take unhappiness with happiness
Naturally, just as I don't marvel
That there are mountains and plains
And that there are rocks and grass…

What matters is to be natural and calm
In happiness and in unhappiness,
To feel as if feeling were seeing,
To think as if thinking were walking,
And to remember, when death comes, that each day dies,
And the sunset is beautiful, and so is the night that remains…
That's how it is and how I want it to be…

- Fernando Pessoa 

Today is better. The sun has come out.
