What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals
And not to measure your life by what you’ve attained in terms of your desires but
Those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality… because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives
Is by valuing the lives of others
Fantasies have to be unrealistic
Because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don’t, you can’t want it anymore.
In order to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent
It’s not the ‘it’ that you want, its the fantasy of ‘it’
We are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness.
This is why we say: the hunt is sweeter than the kill, or: be careful what you wish for - not because you’ll get it: because you’re doomed not to want it once you do
Living by your wants will never make you happy.

“Put your pale arms around my neck.
Let me hold your heart like a flower
lest it bloom and collapse.
Give me your skin
as sheer as a cobweb,
let me open it up
and listen in and scoop out the dark.” —from “Rapunzel” by Anne Sexton (via oh-atlantic)

GO WHERE LAUGHTER TAKES YOU.: Woman in the making

katestaysstrong:

Some days I get it. I swear. I do… But then there are moments like these where I can feel the dark side looming. It’s a demon, behind a dumpster, in a dark alley-way, in my mind, and I know better than to take this route. I know better than to walk past here. And usually I’m pretty good…

“Not gifted with genius, but honestly holding her experience deep in her heart, she keeps it simple and humane. Not worrying about style, she is herself, she breathes fully, she is alive, and she remembers to write.” —Adapted from Nanao Sakaki’s Inch by Inch translation
of Issa’s haiku (via pencilsshavingsandpuzzlepieces)

“We treat desire as a problem to be solved, address what desire is for and focus on that something and how to acquire it rather than on the nature and the sensation of desire, though often it is the distance between us and the object of desire that fills the space in between with the blue of longing. I wonder sometimes whether with a slight adjustment of perspective it could be cherished as a sensation on its own terms, since it is as inherent to the human condition as blue is to distance? If you can look across the distance without wanting to close it up, if you can own your longing in the same way that you own the beauty of that blue that can never be possessed? For something of this longing will, like the blue of distance, only be relocated, not assuaged, by acquisition and arrival, just as the mountains cease to be blue when you arrive among them and the blue instead tints the next beyond. Somewhere in this is the mystery of why tragedies are more beautiful than comedies and why we take a huge pleasure in the sadness of certain songs and stories. Something is always far away.” —Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost (via wordsandetcetera)

Achilles Heel Two: A kiss along the perimeters of everywhere

residence-on-earth-1962:

never know where to st.art.

but my heart resigns itself to yours in between beatings,
meandering along the boundary of could
and the razorwired should.
a prisoner to a captivating soul.

four nights; we felt
and fell fragile in the frame
of such longing, the feathery black
outlines of our bodies…

Lazy Yogi: Step by Step Meditation

1. Set a timer (most cell phones have these). I suggest 5 minutes for a true newbie, 10-15 for a beginner, 20-30 for people who are looking to really give it a go. Feel free to start at whatever time and work your way up.

2. Sit in a comfortable place. I usually sit cross-legged in a chair…
