For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn.
Personally, I’m not all too familiar with Hemingway and was at first confounded by his choice of words. Actually, [...]

“Trust in that veiled hand, which leads
None by the path that he would go;
And always be for change prepared,
For the world’s law is ebb and flow.

Such chaos
Yet these lips are sealed
Such chaos
Yet you sit silent
Thine eyes must see some far off dream
To witness madness, madness!
Yet sit so serene

There was a stirring all around, the soothing restlessness of peace, of the emerging day. Here disappeared the panting rush of the world. No tune to dance to, no rhythm to step to. Silence was music and the dance was stillness.

in externals, in politics, and so on.
But that’s just tinkering. What really
is called for is a revolution of the
human mind…”

We, not one of us know another’s intention and yet we judge. How we judge! What is in another’s heart and mind, the workings of their thoughts - how do we know such thing? We don’t. Many times we don’t know our own heart and mind and not knowing our own we [...]

“Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else’s traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man’s character is, the better it fits him.”
- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
"A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings" by Coleman Barks
"O wave! Plunge headlong into the dark seas,
And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
- Allama Muhammad Iqbal
