“Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

A Night Like This

Joseph Cambell

“Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.”

Story Telling

While others dream of flying, I dream of falling in love and running away. We'd start anew somewhere else, where no one opposes and we can tell the stories of our fantastic adventures for a living. Where we can finally dream of normal things, like flying.

Fantastic Things

Tibor Kalman

“We live in a society and a culture and an economic model that tries to make everything look right. Look at computers. Why are they all putty-colored or off-f******-white? You make something off-white or beige because you are afraid to use any other color – because you don’t want to offend anybody. But by definition, when you make something no one hates, no one loves it. So I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That’s what we really pay attention to anyway. We don’t talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing”.
-Tibor Kalman

Dreams

Dreams
What are dreams?
Moments etched in time
Swept in strokes on twilight canvases
Vast as the cosmos
Quiet lullabies echoing through the purple dawn
Dreams
Farthest reaches of imagination, fulfilled
Endlessly evolving
Hidden
Leaps and bounds
Hidden beauty in unexpected places
Sculptures of perfect imperfections
These are dreams
Sublime journeys beyond the extraordinary
Sad shadows of requiems long ago
Forms and formlessness
Textures that radiate cascading visions and colorful sounds
Dreams that shimmer between wishes and stars
Mystery
Majesty
Transcendently soar
Through infinite possibilities
-“Dreams” by Fitzgerald Scott

You may recognize this from the ShapeShifter video that I posted last month...this is the narration in it.

If I Haven't Written In A While

And I'm sorry if I haven't written to you in a while. It's just that life gets in the way of living. It's just that my fingers were stuck together. It's just that all the paper in the world caught fire.

You'll forgive me if I haven't written in a while. It's just that all the envelopes made love to dragonflies and now, we cannot bring them down. It's just that time stopped ticking. It's just that all the ink ran clear.

My apologies if I haven't written in a while. It's just that words ran out of letters (these are the last in the bag). It's just that language isn't perfect. It's just, me.

Rolling in the Deep

This song has become one of my new favourites. I adore it, and you can't deny that this woman has a brilliant voice. Also, the pile of shattered teacups in the video inspires me.

Nutella, Bananas, and Tea

Because nutella and bananas on toast in a brilliant idea.

Small Little Things

“It’s amazing, some people, they just say these small little things, one sentence and it changes the way you feel about them in an instant. Small little words that can hurt you so much or make you fall deeply in love forever. It changes everything, nothing between you is ever really the same again, even if they don’t know it.”

Cold

It's so cold outside that no one else is on the bridge with except for the infrequent taxi going by, and it's wonderful. No one else can see the slowly freezing lake, and that makes it that much more special.

Ain't Nothing Wrong With That

And again, here is the link to the music video, which is very well done.

Stories

“People need stories, beautiful stories, love stories.”
-Frédéric de Narp

Secret

I'll tell you a secret if you tell me one in return. We'll seal them in envelopes and stick beautiful postage stamps on them and send them out to one another in the mail. And then when we get them, we can whisper them out into the darkness, and I'll love you all the more.

Buddha

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love & affection than you are yourself, & that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.”
-Buddha
