I would not trade consciousness for bliss, even though the allure of nostalgia sometimes leads me to feel otherwise. The road I have taken has not been an even one, but it has been filled with the highs and lows that make a life more than memorable, it creates one that is filled with adventure and dreams realized.
No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them. ~Alan Watts
My name means 'Priceless, Flourishing, Flower.'
Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the power I can manifest. I know that I can create and destroy worlds, that I can create and remove obstacles because I do believe in the Gods within. Does this make me an egotist?
Does this make me aware?
There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely a record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstance, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it has been in his brain and in his passions. He felt that he had know them all, those strange, terrible figures that had passed along the stage of life, and made sin so marvellous and evil so full of subtlety. It seemed that in some mysterious way, their lives had been his own...
~Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1890
Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. ~Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1894
There are at least two kinds of cowards. One kind always lives with himself, afraid to face the world. The other kind lives with the world, afraid to face himself. ~Roscoe Snowden
It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ~Agnes Repplier
Letting go is the hardest part.
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am. ~Sylvia Plath
Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, "This I am today; that I will be tomorrow." ~Louis L'Amour

The best you can is good enough

I've taken the progression from Boy to Man very seriously - but I've yet to loose my Dionysian passion for life, lust and the pursuit of a good wine (or whatever other spirits you or the netherworld may conjure) - but I am enjoying that 'all grown up now' sense of responsibility and purpose.I'm at home behind turntables, blissfully happy in museums, content when discussing life over well-priced (and large portioned) meals. I've developed an interest in Modern Art and Design, I've started using product .
There may be 10,000 paths, but there is only one way. Believe.
Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same. ~Anon
First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ~Epictetus
