You will burn and you will burn out;

 you will be healed and come back again.

 A seed grows with no sound, 

but a tree falls with a huge noise.

 Destruction has noise, 

but creation is quiet.

 This is the power of silence.

 Grow Silently

 In the end we all get what we value most,

 and if we don't like what we have gotten, 

we had better take an honest look 

at what we are valuing.

In the midst of winter,

 I found there was, within me,

 an invincible summer. 

And that makes me happy. 

For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, 

within me, 

there’s something stronger ..

.something better, pushing right back.

- Albert Camus - 

 

 

 

 

 Geloof 

is niet de zekerheid

 dat alles goed komt

 maar de overtuiging

 dat het menselijk bestaan

 - wat er ook gebeurt -

 ten diepste zin heeft

 

 

 

 

You can observe a lot 

just by watching.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine

 and shadows will fall behind you. 

- Walt Whitman -

 

 

The more you understand your parent's story,

the more you'll understand your own. 

 

Your parent's narrative shaped 

who they were

and were not to you. 

 

Their story is not an excuse,

but it is valuable information 

about the reasoning behind how their life  

impacted who they were as parents. 

 

- Nedra Tawwab - 

 

 

 

Stop wresting with the mind. 

Your thoughts are not you.

Just watch them pass.

 

 

 

 

 

Sleep doesn't help 

if its your soul that's tired.

Like most sensitive souls, you already know you’re sensitive. 

You soak up others’ moods and desires like a sponge. 

You absorb sensation the way a paintbrush grasps each color it touches on a palette.
