Y cuando asomas
suenan todos los ríos
en mi cuerpo, sacuden
el cielo las campanas,
y un himno llena el mundo.

~ Pablo Neruda

Rick. Rick. Rick. I’m going to find you as soon as my eyes are dry and I’m fully composed. Okay. Wait. Is this you? From the Psych department?  If it is, I’m thrilled to see that you completed the “process” and are employed in your discipline! Congratulations! A rare feat!

When forty winters shall beseige thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,
Thy youth’s proud livery, so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter’d weed, of small worth held:
Then being ask’d where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserved thy beauty’s use,
If thou couldst answer ‘This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,’
Proving [her] beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.

~Shakespeare, Sonnet 2

Discoveries are often made by not following instructions, by going off the main road, by trying the untried.
~ Frank Tyger

I force people to have coffee with me.
I don’t trust that a friendship can be maintained
without any other senses
besides a computer or cellphone screen.
~ John Cusack

She set her sights
on the faint body
of land ahead.

Quiet the mind,
and the soul will speak.

~ Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

How you view this world
is dependent upon
how much light
you allow in.

Be patient and tough,
someday this pain
will be useful to you.
~ Ovid
