It is possible 
that in the remote regions of the fixed stars,
or perhaps far beyond them,
there may be some body absolutely at rest,
but it is impossible to know 
from the positions of bodies to one another in our regions
whether any one of these do not keep the same position
to that remote body.
It follows that absolute rest cannot be determined
from the position of bodies in our region.

Wisdom is nothing but
a preparation of the soul,

a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing
thoughts of unity 
at every moment of life.

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. 
It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, 
something that never has been 
and never could have been experienced 
by anyone else.

Saturday 16 November 2013


Friday 15 November 2013

We live in a wonderful world

Nature uses only the longest threads
to weave her patterns, 
so that each small piece of her fabric 
reveals the organisation 
of the entire tapestry.

Each day is a little life: 
every waking and rising a little birth, 
every fresh morning a little youth, 
every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Some things in life are bad they can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewin' on life's gristle, don't grumble give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing

And always look on the bright side of life
Come on, always look on the bright side of life

For life is quite absurd and death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin, give the audience a grin
Enjoy it it's your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit when you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
You'll see it's all a show keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
Come on Brian, cheer up

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Worse things happen at sea you know

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life

I feel and think much as you do, 
care about many of the things you care about, 
although most people do not care about them.

The gods had condemned Sisyphus 
to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, 
whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. 
They had thought with some reason 
that there is no more dreadful punishment 
than futile and hopeless labour.
