All action is of the mind 
and the mirror of the mind is the face, 
its index the eyes.

The artist, 
like the god of the creation, 
remains within
or behind
or beyond
or above his handiwork, 
invisible, 
refined out of existence, 
indifferent, 
paring his fingernails.

Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy 
unless he has first experienced their desolations.

Interesting phenomena occur
when two or more rhythmic patterns are combined, 
and these phenomena illustrate very aptly 
the enrichment of information that occurs 
when one description is combined with another.

It will sometimes strike a scientific man 
that the philosophers have been less intent on finding out what the facts are, 
than on inquiring what belief is most in harmony with their system.

with its dynamic currents passing through your being, 
is another.

I sit in my wooden box
and feel the edges damp and rough
the rain that falls upon the roof
is leaking down my back.
Everyone inside their rooms
but no one wants to play
the words with which we made up things
aren't working any more.

An open space where no one lives
we are strangers in this land
In the wet season on a light blue sky
and then no more.
I heard the old wobbly man say
one by one we drop hey hey
and all that’s good will drift away
like the waters down…down…down.

patiently waiting 
for our wits to grow sharper.

There are only two ways to live your life. 
One is as though nothing is a miracle. 
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. 
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Do not go where the path may lead, 
go instead where there is no path 
and leave a trail.
