“You must be ready to accept the possibility that there is a limitless range of awareness for which we now have no words; that awareness can expand beyond range of your ego, your self, your familiar identity, beyond everything you have learned, beyond your notions of space and time, beyond the differences which usually separate people from each other and from the world around them…”
—The Tibetan Book of The Dead (via lucifelle)
“You are a puppet, but in the hands of the infinite, which may be your own.”
—Antonio Porchia (via slychedelic)
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”
—Zora Neale Hurston
I was hoping the bottle of wine I bought myself this afternoon would help me persevere through these last twenty four hours of the semester but alas, seeing as how I am the most ill-disciplined person on the planet, it did not. Therefore, I had to dedicate my night to studying and the contemplation of several projects and papers, (as well as the drinking of said bottle of wine, of course). I don’t mind though, I overslept this morning so it’s very likely that I wouldn’t have fallen asleep until very late in the morning, if at all, anyway. I’m such a space cadet though, it’s so hard to get anything done without drifting off or getting distracted. I can’t stop thinking about music, about nature, about love. Summertime is literally twenty four hours away, so close I swear I can feel it. Days spent in the sunshine, nights spend singing the blues. Festivals on the weekends and down to the shore when my love and I have the chance. If only I could finish this absurd amount of nonsense work!
“This witnessing is the ultimate experience of life because it opens the doors of miracles. The first miracle is, it makes you aware of your originality. It takes away all the dust that has gathered upon your mirror. It washes away all thoughts and leaves behind only the original man.”
—Osho (via slychedelic)
