Lin Yutang

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone... The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.

Quote of the moment

Bones

The dead bodies abandon the catacombs,
rising to the surface,
gradually, on their own bones,
as if they would come back to life.

When the ink of my soul runs dry

Sometimes, when the ink of my soul runs dry,
when my heart is too hurt to sing, the words too painful to be said,
then the silence is my voice, the blue sky my hope,
the ocean is my tear,
the stars are my dreams,
the flowers my smile, and the birds my freedom.
Your Peace overflows.
The beauty of each day overwhelms me.
