the Good Muse

We Are ->

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

~Arthur O’Shaughnessy

strange beauty ->

I cannot believe that the
inscrutable universe
turns on an axis of suffering;
surely the strange beauty of the world
must somewhere rest on pure joy

~ Louise Bogan

perspective ->

When they discover the center of the universe,
a lot of people will be disappointed...
to discover they are not it

~ Bernard Bailey

your little corner ->

There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self

~ Aldous Huxley

Winds of Change

The winds of change are stirring the air about me,
...and things are moving - a dance of a different energy
I believe the Universe is conspiring (in a good way)
It reminds me of the moods of Esalen
My curiosity is up as to what will unfold
