Oh hello 🍁🐶

You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.

My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

Warsan Shire (via wordsnquotes)

Pull me close, until I’m right up against you, and then closer still.

We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us.

John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra (via house-under-a-rock)

It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you.

Leon Brown  (via thatkindofwoman)

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Marcus Aurelius (via thecalminside)

Let’s savor this day, whatever it holds: work and play, coffee and cuddles with children, risk and rest, conversations and dreams and nap time and meetings, meals and prayers and the good stuff and the hard stuff. Daily life is still the best thing going, better than waiting for whatever it is you’re waiting for. Daily life is where it’s at–let’s savor it.

Secondhand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.

If you’ve ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you’ve probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It’s not on any maps and most people have never heard of it. Some people think it’s a myth. But if you're curious, don’t wait. Take a trip. Find it. It's out there somewhere in the woods, waiting.

I sell books like medicine. There are books that are suitable for a million people, others only for a hundred. There are even medicines - sorry, books - that are written for one person only.

We’re here and then we’re gone, and it’s not about the time we’re here, but what we do with the time.

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (via journaling-junkie)

I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own.

Sylvia Plath, from “Ocean 1212-W,” Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (Buccaneer Books, 1994)

As the dark, cold morning gives way to light, And the world shows its face dazzling in her nakedness, So the twigs and leaf-bare branches, Bow to the passing dance Of old Jack Frost. His crystal breath on the earth, And the corners of houses weep icicles of joy. But where is the Sun’s warmth? Where is life? A small flower, delicate and pure-white, Looks to the earth, As if talking to the waiting green, “Not yet,” it seems to whisper. “When I fall, then you can return.” And she nods her head, as the Lady passes by, Leaving more flowers in Her wake.

Imbolic by Damh the Bard (via faeralyn)

The most valuable lesson anyone learns in life should be learned as early as possible. That you don’t have to live in the reality someone else had invented. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Ever.

Penelope Douglas, Corrupt (via simply-quotes)

Become aware of your own mind and what it is saying and doing. A good question to ask yourself is… What kinds of thoughts go through my mind all day long?

(via tolleteaching)

Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius.
