Lao Tzu

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.

Movies of the night,
dreams open us to new worlds
of dread and delight.

Paulo Coelho

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Fake it till you make it -- 

-- Tripping over shoelaces

I should just wear boots

The white baby finch

What takes a flap to soar high

huffs and puffs to float

Buson

the white dew

on each thorn of the bramble

a dew drop

alignment of time

it's not as easy to tell

still you feel present

 Blood spilled on the throne

Arrows black out all the light

 O hail to the king
