before I sleep

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep." - Robert Frost

"Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude." - Alfred North Whitehead

To be free

All I know is one should not try to conclude anything else one would miss the "real" knowledge stored in time. Let the experience be the understanding rather than a logical outcome. This is what it means "to be free".

Wonderland

I want to tell you something ...
which may not make any sense ...
but i should say it ...
because one day you might remember it ...
may be it will make you feel better ...
At a certain point in your life ...
when probably too much has gone by ...
you will open eyes and see for self who you are ...
especially for everything that made you so different ...
from all the awful normals ...
and you would say to your self ...
but I am this person ...
and in that statement that correction ...
there would be a kind of love ...

I am so scared ...

We all are ...

- Miss Dodger and Phoebe




He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman ‑ how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle. Yet, after ten thousand generations, a great sage may appear who will know their meaning, and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed.
