Wanting to be someone you’re not is a waste of the person you are.
Kurt Cobain
quote
without sense, no sense
and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We make sense of our world. With our senses. Same word.
When we remove a sense, the sense we make is different. Developing our ability to use them all in harmony is useful. Don’t just listen, when you can feel what is being said. Don’t just see, when you can hear with your heart.
Make all the sense you can.
in, out, on
When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate.
And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.

the hardest journey
And you?
When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
Rumi
one pebble alone
The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by one pebble
Blaise Pascal
Everything you do makes a difference.
rumour has it…
Skill is only a rumour … until it reaches the muscle and is an unconscious part of you.
Balinese proverb
So hard to explain…
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings – always darker, emptier and simpler.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Feelings are so hard to explain aren’t they?
We have these sensations that arise inside our bodies, that move, that have direction, have intensity. They’re hard to interpret, yet hard to ignore. We give them labels, because that allows us to communicate, but really the label does not do justice to the complexity and depth of the feeling, or its meaning and significance to us. We cannot rationalise them, talk them away, hold a conversation with them, like we can our thoughts. Yet our feelings are somehow more pure, more real, more now.
body, here, right now…
Trust your gut. Your body is the only part of you that is ever truly present
free the dancing star in your life
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are many interpretations for this quote. My meaning I take to be…
Only with a freedom in your heart, a freedom to be yourself, to discover and embrace your existence, with all the chaos and complexity that might bring, only then can you bring your dancing star to the surface. A free, expressive version of your ‘self’ that brings light and wonder to the world.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
Now it’s 34 degrees, I yearn for the cooling currents of a winter’s wrath
